Mount Eden Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2011

$55

Limited new Pinot release from Mount Eden.96 Points Robert Parker:  "he 2010 Pinot Noir Estate is an exceptionally elegant wine. Dried cherries, plums, exotic spices, mint and crushed flowers waft from the glass, with plenty of lift from the use of 50% whole clusters. There is a lot of personality here, but readers will need to be very patient while the stems integrate. The 2010 is striking from start to finish. I can’t wait to see how this stunning Pinot ages. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. Mount Eden is one of the United States’ great heritage estates. The Chardonnays and Pinots have a track record for aging spectacularly well...The Pinots are made with anywhere from 20-50% stem inclusion, which can make the wines hard to understand when young. If I am looking for an aged bottle of California Chardonnay or Pinot, Mount Eden is always at or near the top of my list."

After reading Antonio’s review of Mount Eden’s Pinot Noir I thought I would give the 2011 a try. Gorgeous aromatics stand out with cherry liqueur, orange peel, raspberry and cranberry notes flowing through the palate. Simply stunning and youthful in profile. Enjoy this over the next 10 or so years.

Opened musty and you could smell an earthen cave. But the dark fruit and subtle spice is great.
