Pahlmeyer Pinot Noir 2011

Pahlmeyer's 2011 Pinot Noir is racy and exceptionally polished to the core. Sweet red berries. Crushed flowers, mint and sweet spices resonate on the palate. The 2011 is built on forward fruit laced with floral overtones, all supported by silky, expressive tannins. In 2011, the Pinot is a blend of fruit from Hallberg (40%) and Wayfarer (60%), started by Erin Green and finished by Kale Anderson. This is a gorgeous showing. Drink: 2014-2021. Score - 93.
