Note di degustazione
It's fascinating to taste the 2013 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43 after the Block 8. Creamy, round and supple, the Block 43 is all about sensuality and soft, inviting contours. Raspberry jam, wild flowers and mint are some of the notes that open up in an open-knit, expressive Pinot to drink over the next handful of years. Next to the Block 8, the Block 43 has a bit more alcohol and higher pH, which contribute to richer feel.

Just as good as the Block 8, yet in a more focused, ethereal style, the 2013 Pinot Noir Block 43 Bien Nacido Vineyard was vinified similarly, but only saw 33% new French oak as opposed to the 50% used for the Block 8. This ruby-colored block 43 has fabulous rose petal, crushed violets, sweet spice and ample black cherry and black raspberry characteristics to go with a medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, elegant and beautifully precise feel on the palate. I love it, and it's another terrific Pinot Noir from this estate that will have a decade or more of longevity.
