2012 pureCru Pinot Noir, Giovanni's Vineyard

Spices and floral notes intertwine with red fruit in a very seductive manor seemingly as only Pinot Noir can be. This wine has a pure core of fruit with excellent balance that keeps it alive throughout in a way that doesn't pander. It stands up very nicely to many food types. Hand punched cap fermented in one ton lots. Aged in French oak barrels for 11 months (50% new) on the original lees that were occasionally stirred.
