Halleck Vineyard, Sonoma Coast (California) Pinot Noir 2013

This is a very limited production, one-and-done bottling as it’s a vineyard source that Halleck had just for the 2013 vintage.  So, it may be a difficult find, but it’s definitely worth pursuing.  Structured to age a bit, it currently shows rich cherry fruit, hibiscus tea and light oak spice on the nose and in the mouth, delivered on racy acidity that will calm with a few years in the bottle and render this a very elegant bottling.  Let the search begin!
