NEELY Pinot Noir, Spring Ridge Vineyard 'Hidden Block' 2012

The 2012 'Hidden Block' Pinot Noir, Dijon 115 clone, offers a more earthy edge than the Picnic Blocks which are Dijon 777 clones. It displays aromas of damp soil and mushroom wrapped in juicy dark cherries, ripe plums dried violet and spices. This expands seamlessly across the opulent palate with a wonderful finesse before ending with a juicy, plush finish. There is already much to like here and it should continue to show well for up to a decade. (Best 2016-2024) - May, 2015 (JD)
