The 2012 Pinot Noir Olson Estate Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1972, from cuttings bought in by David Lett, that remain on their own roots (Pommard, 667 and Coury clones). Aged for 17 months in French oak, it has an intense bouquet with cranberry, red plum and wild strawberry notes infused with sous-bois character coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, fleshy entry. This is nicely balanced with a fine lattice of tannin underneath, poised and focused all the way through to the finish. Elegant in style, enjoy this over the next 6-8 years, possibly longer.
