2012 Pinot Noir, Griffin’s Lair Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
The Pinot Noir from the Griffin’s Lair Vineyard is delicate on the palate, yet has a medium body that finishes with a fresh, crisp acidity. A well-integrated bouquet gives off aromas of farmers-market fresh plums and florally violets. This wine calls out for the classic pairing of the traditional French recipe of beef bourguignon. The wine was aged 11 months in barrels prior to bottling on August 15, 2013. This wine should age well for 8-10 years.

2013 Pinot Noir, Los Carneros, Napa Valley
The 2013 vintage represents the Carneros region perfectly – with a bright medium light garnet color, aromas of fresh strawberry-rhubarb pie along with creamy, toasted vanilla coffee aromas. This wine has a dry yet fruity body and a satiny, medium-long earthy finish with well-integrated tannins and light oak in an old world style. This is a lush, concentrated pinot noir.
