2012 Carpe Diem Cellars Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., $32. Crafted by Roederer Estate’s
winemaker, Arnaud Weyrich.
·
Medium reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is dominated by toasty,
smoky oak with little fruit evident. Better on the palate with a flavorful core of berry and plum fruit with oakdriven
notes of tobacco leaf and smoke in the background. Creamy on the palate with balanced tannins and a
short finish. Unchanged the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. The heavy oak
overlay is too much for my taste.
Score: 86.

An oak-themed Pinot Noir from start to finish. It is crafted in a lighter, softer style that is attractive but I wanted more fruit flavor and less oak.
