Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Thieriot Vineyard Estate is incisive and energetic, with notable brightness. Dried red cherry, white pepper, slate, orange zest and cranberry overtones give the Thieriot much of its unique personality. Like all of the 2013 Pinots, the Thieriot is a bit forward and compact, both of which suggest it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.

Game, smoke, tobacco, licorice, mint and brambly notes emerge from the 2013 Pinot Noir Thieriot Vineyard Estate. There is no shortage of personality or character in this wild, unrestrained, intense Pinot. A wine of notable nuance, complexity and sheer class, the 2013 is super-expressive today. At the same time, its best days clearly lie ahead.
