The Pinot Noirs are grafted on root stock, and all three cuvées are under the Neely label, with the three-block blend under the Varner label. Sounds confusing, but that’s the way they do it. The 2012 Neely Pinot Noir Hidden Block is from a northeast-facing three-acre parcel planted with Dijon clone 115. This wine offers loads of earthy pomegranate, red currant and sweet and sour cherry notes, a dark ruby color, lots of spice, and a distinctive C?tes de Beaune premier cru-like personality. Drink it over the next 5-8 years.
