The 2012 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard comes from a four-acre block planted in 1999 (Dijon 114 clone). Picked October 8 at 24.3 Brix and aged for 14 months in French oak (40% new oak), it has a refined, quite reserved bouquet that prioritizes mineralité over fruit intensity: red cherries, bergamot, sea spray and a touch of chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, quite harmonious entry, whereby the fruit errs more toward the black side of the spectrum: blackcurrant and bilberry laced with cold stone and a pinch of white pepper. Slightly more masculine in style, it should be afforded 2-3 years in bottle.
