Note di degustazione
The 2013 Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard’s wild berry fruit is accented by tertiary tones of porcini mushroom, tobacco, black tea and forest floor on the nose. The palate surprises with its explosive red berry flavors, its foresty, earthy tones taking a backseat to its fruit more than a decade after the harvest. It’s structured by powerful, powdery tannins and lip-smacking acidity and has a long, earth-laced finish.

The 2013 Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard is the most tannic and structured of these Pinots from Occidental. As such, it is going to need at least a few years in bottle to unwind. Beams of chalky tannin underpin a deeply expressive Pinot endowed with intensely mineral and savory overtones. Vivid and beautifully sculpted throughout, the 2013 is impressive, even in the early going.
