'The 2012 A to Z Pinot Noir invites with vibrant aromas of juicy berries, cherries, lavender and violets, evolving to clove, game, smoke and cherry tobacco. A succulent, focused attack has flavors of blue and red fruits, flowers and earth, then deepens with hints of mocha, gingerbread, green tea and cacao. A very tannic structure is balanced by perfect acidity, giving shape and elegance to the concentration of lush fruit. A beautiful, complex, forward wine results, walking a tightrope between richness and elegance. Built for midterm ageing, the captivating A to Z Pinot Noir once again sets the standard for the superior 2012 Pinot Noir vintage in Oregon.' - Wine.com, 89 Wine Spectator
My Review:
I really enjoyed this Pinot! I found this wine as a very well balanced sweet and acidic taste, but the overall taste was complex. I felt the more I drank it, the more flavors I was able to detect. On the initial taste, I tasted heavy fruit flavors consisting of strawberries and cherries with a underlying burnt wood, smokey, flavor. After a few more swirls and tastes, I was able to detect the gingerbread spice as mentioned in the review above, but unable to really pick any other spices out. Overall, this was a very good wine and I plan on buying it again, but this time I would like to try and decant it and see how the flavors evolve.
I did not taste this wine with any food.
