"First made in 2000 (and the first commercial Pinot Noir for this estate), the 2012 Pinot Noir Cohn Vineyard is the first single-vineyard release from this vineyard since 2004. Coming from the northern most part of the Russian River Valley, it's a wonderfully complete Pinot Noir that has the classic, Russian River spice profile to go with beautifully rich, red and black fruits, licorice, toasted bread and charred earth. A full-flavored, rich and layered effort, it nevertheless stays nicely balanced, has notable freshness and terrific length. It should evolve nicely, but I see no reason to delay gratification here as it's superb today. This was another stacked lineup by the team of Dan Kosta and Michael Browne. All of these wines showed the more approachable style of the 2012 vintage, and had seamless, elegant characters. They're beautiful now, but I suspect they will evolve nicely given their overall balance."
