Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2012

I believe that the two Halberg Vineyard Pinot Noirs in this tasting were served after the winery’s Rochioli Vineyard Pinot because they are more full-bodied, richer wines with lots of fruit, broader rather than linear, as was the Rochioli.  Halberg Vineyard Pinot Noir (1198 cases produced) is very savory in flavor, suggesting various spices, with good concentration and palate length.
