BLUXOME STREET WINERY Pinot Noir 'Balinard Vineyard' 2012

The 2012 Bluxome Street ‘Balinard Vineyard’ Pinot Noir is a fantastic showing, it has the elegance and purity that I found very impressive in some of Bluxome Street’s other single vineyard Pinots, but with more depth. This opens up with high-pitched aromas of wild raspberries and forest berries which are followed by spices, white pepper, lavender, pine and dried floral. This has a gorgeous rich, silky texture that is beautifully balanced and a finish which brings a wonderful sense of freshness, marked by minerals and an excellent spicy note. This is a approachable now, but look for it to evolve over the next couple of years. - April, 2014 (JD)
