2013 LaRue Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard

The 2013 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann is dark, powerful and mysterious. Intense mineral and savory notes are pushed into the foreground, while the fruit is reticent. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2013 is not completely expressive at this stage. The Emmaline Ann was done with fully destemmed fruit, yet the wine remains unusually closed at this stage.
