| Notes | "The 2013 Two Messengers was matured in 30% new oak. It has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with wild strawberry and red cherry scents: nicely focused and vivacious for the 2013 vintage. The palate is lively on the entry with supple, quite tensile tannin and plenty of citrus fruit lending tension and poise. For me, this is a step forward over the 2012, and at thirty dollars, represents outstanding value." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "It takes a day for this Pinot to shed its oak robe and tarry spice, revealing a bright red core of fruit, like sun-warmed cherries. The texture feels light, lifted, the acids and tannins working together with an effortless harmony. A Wednesday-night Pinot." (Wine & Spirits Magazine) |
