The 2010 Joseph Phelps 100% Estate Grown Pinot Noir, sourced from 51% Quarter Moon Vineyard and 49% Pastorale Vineyard, is bright and energetic. Fresh raspberries, wild berries, spices, smoke and dried floral are some of the aromas that leap from the glass. Balanced with wonderful acidity driving the fruit into the juicy finish. This is a gorgeous pinot noir that I would love to see again in a few years. Aged 14 months in 55% new and 45% two- to three-year-old French oak barrels before bottling, fewer whole clusters were used in this year’s fermentations. (Best 2014-2022) - April, 2013 (JD)
