Fort Berens Estate Winery Fort Berens Pinot Noir 2012 Wine Review

Brent Gushowaty rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Eye:
Pale/med, dark cherry on rim

Nose:
Plum, roses, black & red fruits, a floral component kept opening up the longer it sat in the glass, Pommard clones?

Palate:
Still some tannins and a little closed, plum, dark cherry, very very long fruit with power, needs 2-3 years to come into its own.

Value Rating: 90
