The 2012 Pinot Noir exhibits excellent varietal character immediately upon opening. Aromas of strawberry, fresh rhubarb, and cranberry all leap out of the glass. The palate shows bright acidity along with subtle floral notes combined with raspberry and forest floor. This is a pretty wine and is showing well now and should continue for years to come.The 2012 Pinot Noir exhibits excellent varietal character immediately upon opening.

Perfect abundance marked the 2012 growing season. Plentiful spring rain filled our reserves, and there was no frost during the critical bloom phase. Summer brought a classic California weather pattern of alternating days of morning fog and sun that slowly brought the estate fruit to the perfect point of ripeness. Total yield over all varieties growing on the Spring Mountain Vineyard was 2.25 tons per acre, exceeding the 1.5 tons per acre norm, and making 2012 our most abundant harvest in twenty years.
