Curlew Vineyards Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, USA 2012

Description

Sourced from select parcels in Napa Valley, the 2012 Curlew Vineyards Pinot Noir reflects a warm and even growing season that favored ripeness and textural depth. Napa Pinot Noir often carries more amplitude than its cooler climate counterparts, and this example follows that profile while maintaining balance.

The bouquet reveals black cherry, ripe raspberry, and plum, accented by notes of clove, cedar, and dried rose. With maturity, tertiary tones of forest floor and subtle leather emerge. The palate is medium to full bodied, with rounded tannins and moderated acidity that lend a broad, supple texture.

The finish is smooth and sustained, marked by dark red fruit and gentle spice. A mature expression of Pinot Noir from United States, showing richness and integration after extended bottle age.
