Bien Nacido Estate Pinot Noir is sourced from five premium blocks of the famed vineyard, including vines from the original plantings in 1973. Around one-third whole clusters are used, and the wine is aged for 18 months in 30% new French Oak. The 2012 vintage displays aromas of black tea, iron and bing cherries. The velvety texture of the palate gives off darker fruit notes than the nose would indicate, as well as a dusty character on the finish.
