2013 Fort Ross Seaview from the Davies family at Schramsberg . Awesome Pinot Noir! Reminds me of DuMol Pinots. Rich with loads of black currants. Great mouthfeel. Thanks Nick and #WilsonDaniels .. CB 95

Mar 23rd, 2016A portrait in lushness and silken texture, the 2013 Davies Nobles Vineyard Pinot Noir offers red-fruited and fleshy aromas of cherry clafoutis, roasted strawberries, vanilla bean, and spice. On the palate, density and balance, one feels that the fruit expression is very pure, in fact the main element, with round, fine tannins and the merest touch of spice and roasted meat on the finish. I've had heavier Pinot from Sonoma Valley to be sure, this one is a sort of mid point between that and the Willamette.
