A blend of all 5 clones that we grow the 2012 Adriane Pinot Noir exhibits all the hallmarks of this unique growing season, marrying the fruit intensity associated with a warmer vintage over a fully mature and elegant structure more often associated with a cooler growing season. Pungent aromas of ripe dark cherry, sandalwood and barrel toast, mingled with hints of forest floor and savory notes emanate from the nose. The wine delivers ample up front fruit in a linear attack that drives the wine straight to the middle and back of the palate. Delivering loads of dark cherry extract, tremendous density and mid palette depth supported by fine grain tannins that provide a fluidity of movement into a long clean finish.
