My favorite in the lineup, the 2012 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard offers a classy, thrillingly pure profile with black cherry, damp underbrush, licorice and spring-flower aromas and flavors all emerging from the glass. While it shows the vintage's more forward, supple nature, it stays nicely focused, with bright acidity and an energetic, sappy texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. Give it a year and drink bottles through 2022.

Bright red berries, cola, spices and plums are some of the notes that inform the 2012 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard. The flavors are bright, focused and articulate throughout, with sweet floral notes that add lift on the finish.
