2012 Spring Mountain Estate Pinot Noir Napa Valley 2007 promising youthful delight and maturingThe 2012 Pinot Noir exhibits excellent varietal character immediately upon opening. Aromas of strawberry, fresh rhubarb, and cranberry all leap out of the glass. The palate shows bright acidity along with subtle floral notes combined with raspberry and forest floor. This is a pretty wine and is showing well now and should continue for years to come.
