"Awesome" is inadequate as a descriptor when talking about this wine. The greatest Bien Nacido bottle I've ever experienced. #ipob14

2012 vintage. Holding up rather well. Appropriate nose, velveteen entry. Light-medium body. Balanced fruit/acidity. Fairly smooth palate draw/experience. 2.20.23

A little light, but still good.

Smooth, aromas of earthy dark cherry, enjoyed the tannin finish.

Not as complex as the Block 22 from the same vineyard. A bit soft and lacking the complexity and acid that most Ojai Pinots have. Still decent and enjoyable.

Liked it better at In Pursuit of Balance
but everything tastes better in a festive wine event with lots of gourmet bites at your side. I bet it'll be better in 2017

VVV @ Petes. Weaker nose than the rest but the team liked it. Softer than brewer, but more zip than the ABC.

Bien nacido is so good, good fruit, spice and so balanced. For being a 2012 it's so good in a couple of more years it will be great
