2010 Brewer-Clifton 3-D Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 290
cases, $52. Second vintage from a 3-acre vineyard planted to Swan,
Pommard and 667 clones in sandy loam.
·
Moderate reddish-purple hue
in the glass. Bright aromas of dark pie berries and plum, spice, slate and
oak char. Medium bodied essence of darker Pinot fruits including black
plums and black raspberries with a hint of cherry and Asian 5-spice.
Complex and layered rather than simply fruity. Admirable crispness and
smoothly textured with remarkable persistence on the finish. Very impressive
composition and highly recommended.
