I was smitten by the 2011 vintage of this delightful Pinot Noir and am perhaps even more enamored of the current release. It still has that fine silkiness and similarly luxurious flavor profile that I liked so much, along with savory earthiness and nicely controlled fruitiness. This is a wine that is both graceful and commanding.
