2013 Magna Porcum Estate Grown Green Valley of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.58, TA 0.55, $45. Released February 10, 2015. Vineyard planted in 2007 in Goldridge sandy loam in the heart of the Green Valley. Clones are Swan, Pommard, DRC and Calera. Aged 15 months in a variety of new, once and twice-filled French oak barrels. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Very shy nose, offering hints of dark berry jam and oak. Linear mid weight plus flavors of blackberry and black cherry with a modicum of oak seasoning. Rather blunt and dull, with balanced sandy tannins and a lack of zing. When tasted the next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine still lacked aromatic interest and the palate experience was unchanged. I should revisit this wine in another year, although it has been in bottle for almost a year. Score: 88. Reviewed January 17, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
