2012 Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir
The enticing red-violet color introduces floral and fruity redolence of dried flowers, pomegranate, hints of cinnamon, followed by a medium body, modest acidity, and complex flavors of strawberry, cherry, unsweetened cocoa, and tea leaf.
Description
We are proud to present our second Phantom Ranch offering, a 50/50 balance of two highly-regarded Pinot Noir clones: Pommard and 115. Hand-selected from our most picturesque vineyard in Carneros, this elegant Pinot Noir was planted specifically for the Laird Family and vinted under the direction of consulting winemaker Paul Hobbs.
