Delicate. Very pale crimson and possibly erring too far on the skinny side though it’s certainly light years from Russian River jam. (JR)

Sweet red berries, mint, flowers, hard candy and spices all inform the 2012 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast), the only 2012 Pinot that was in bottle at the time of this tasting. The 2012 is quite a bit racier and silkier than the 2011, a wine I have enjoyed on multiple occasions. There is a lot to like in the 2012, though, including the wine's immediate and open personality. I will not be surprised if the 2012 comes together a little more fully with time in bottle.
