Amazing purity of fruit. Effusive, yet still way too young even for the softer 12 vintage.

Well, I ordered the Guadalupe which is always better. But this ain't bad for such a youngster.

Thought it was from burgundy. Absolutely beautiful representation of a Pinot noir.

Lean acidic. Blueberry red berry. Nice acid long and complex. $65

Restrained, good fruit and structure, but one of the few '12 eola-amity wines I've had that needed more time.

2012 is somewhat silky in texture. The alcohol takes over the bouquet and will burn the sinuses. Almost considered full bodied/ dark in color due to the hot summer vintage. Surprisingly light and acidic. Hint of vanilla. Would probably benefit from cellaring a few years.

Wright usually does right. Young and fruity but with a Burgundy feel from a good soil. Like his others should show great with time.
