One of the most appealing characteristics of red Burgundy is the concept of flavor without weight. The Davies Pinot Noir from Nobles Vineyard in Sonoma’s Fort Ross-Seaview district embraces the Burgundian model. Ripe and succulent, with layers of juicy red fruit, this 2013 Pinot is all about flavor and finesse rather than power and heft. For those looking for delicious, well-balanced Pinot that stands a good chance to evolve and improve over the next few years, the Davies Nobles Vineyard is a solid bet.
