Michel-Schlumberger Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California, USA 2012

Description

Produced along the cool influenced vineyards of Sonoma Coast, the 2012 Michel Schlumberger Pinot Noir reflects a vintage noted for balance and structure. The growing season delivered ripeness without sacrificing acidity, allowing both depth and clarity.

The bouquet reveals black cherry, raspberry, and plum layered with rose petal, clove, and subtle oak spice. With bottle age, tertiary tones of forest floor, dried leaves, and faint leather have emerged. The palate is medium bodied, with polished tannins and steady acidity that maintain precision and length.

The finish is composed and persistent, marked by dark red fruit and savory nuance. A mature and structured Pinot Noir from United States, showing integration and coastal restraint after extended aging.
