Matetic EQ Pinot Noir 2012

The destemmed grapes for the 2012 EQ Pinot Noir fermented in open inox vats with punching down, with indigenous yeasts, and the wine was aged for 14 months in a mixture of French oak barrels, making for a serious, attractive nose of sour cherries, blood oranges and a medium-bodied palate with good freshness and balance, clean, delineated flavors and a tasty, and dare I say it, mineral feeling. Great Pinot. I look forward to tasting the 2013 vintage. 1,600 cases of 12 bottles were produced. Grab 'em! Drink now-2017. Score - 93. (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, June 2014)
