2012 Rivers-Marie Silver Eagle Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, 350 cases
Not sure there is such a thing as fully lignified stems but as we destemmed fruit from this site in 2012, the brownest stems I'd ever seen were kicking out of the destemmer. It was an easy call upon closer visual inspection to reserve approximately 10% of each clone for whole cluster trials. Here the stems not only improve the middle but also give the aromatic a more expressive, lifted quality. They contribute a woodsy note to the wine that complements the intensity/fatness of the fruit inherent in the site. There's sassafras, mint, smoke, a wide mix of fruit colors and baking spice. This bottling always had great depth but now there's breadth and structure to complete the wine. First impression of this wine is dark and brooding but with air some higher toned orange notes begin to emerge. This also has the same mouth watering characteristic as Occidental Ridge. Acidity is very present but it is the wine's structure that carries the finish.

" Deep and powerful, the 2012 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard is especially brooding in this vintage. Black cherries, tar, smoke and licorice all burst from the glass in an explosive, full-bodied Pinot. This is one of the more reticent wines in the range, with a burly personality that is going to take some time to fully come together. Initially quite dark, the 2012 brightens up considerably with time in the glass, suggesting a future with plenty of potential. Hints of cranberry, pomegranate and orange peel leave a lasting impression on the finish. The 2012 was fermented with 10% whole clusters." (2/ 2014)
