2014 Wayfarer Mother Rock Wayfarer Vineyard Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir

14.3% alc.. A blend of clones 37 and 777. Named for the vineyard’s sandstone substrate that fractures into sandy loam. · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. Deep aromas of black fruit compote. This wine is still monolithic and unyielding, opening some in the glass to reveal mid weight plus flavors of black cherry, blueberry-pomegranate and spice framed by muscular tannins. Much more aromatic and friendly when tasted two days later from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. This wine definitely needs decanting or a few more years in the cellar. December 2016. Score: 93. Reviewed January 16, 2017
