2013 En Garde Pleasant Hill Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

100 cases, $54. Clones 115 and 667. Harvest Brix 25º. Aged 17 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. Unfined and unfiltered. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Supportive oak embellishes the black raspberry fruit on the nose. Impressive attack of luscious black raspberry and black cherry fruits that are well spiced and accented with oak. Lively, with perfectly matched tannins, admirable harmony, and noticeable finishing power and length. The finish is particularly glorious. Score: 93. Reviewed June 18, 2016
