Note di degustazione
Bright ruby. Sexy, focused, oak-spiced cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of woodsmoke, incense and candied flowers. Smooth, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering sweet red and dark berry preserve flavors firmed by juicy acidity. Nicely combines richness and vivacity and finishes with impressive energy and supple tannins that marry smoothly with the wine's intense fruit.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Homer comes from four vineyard blocks picked October 7-10 and includes 9% whole-cluster fruit, matured in 68% new French oak, this cuvée a selection of the best barrels, particularly those with a dark fruited profile. It has an outgoing, well-defined bouquet with mulberry, dark plum, orange blossom and mint aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and quite succulent tannin, slightly grainy in texture with black cherries and blackcurrant notes infused with white pepper and red peppercorn. There is impressive depth and concentration here, if not quite the persistence that the nose deserves.
