Le Clos Jordanne Claystone Terrace Pinot Noir 2011
$45.00
$56.25
Claystone is the coolest of the Le Clos vineyards and is generally picked last. There is ripeness on the nose with black cherry, raspberry, sweet oak spice, crushed leaves and earthy, wet-stone notes. It is youthful and energetic on the palate with ripe red fruits, grippy tannins, spice and touches of licorice, green tobacco and lively acidity. Needs time to loosen up the tight structure, but will reward once it opens up. Score - 90. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Dec. 9, 2013)
