Lazy Creek Vineyards, Anderson Valley (California) Pinot Noir 2012

Apr 9, 2014

By Marguerite Thomas

Lazy Creek is owned by Don and Rhonda Carano, who are known for the big, generous red wines they produce under their Ferrari-Carano label.  This Pinot Noir wine gives due respect to that grape’s more subtle charms.  An obvious core of ripe red fruit dominates the flavor components, but an undertow of earthier, secondary tastes keeps the wine interesting and lively.  The texture is luxuriously silky, and the finish is nicely drawn out.
