Joseph Phelps Vineyards Pastorale Pinot Noir 2013 750ml

Pastorale Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2013
Now with nine years of age, Joseph Phelps’ exquisite, suave 2013 Pinot Noir Pastorale sits in the sweet spot of its drinking window. Made from four plots of Pinot Noir grown on the sloping Pastorale vineyard, this wine was fermented with 35% whole clusters, which has given it terrific structure and staying power. The 2013 growing year offered balanced, ripe fruit, and this ’13 Pinot crackles with energy, oozes with super-ripe red and blue fruits, and flows with a velvety texture; baking spices, crushed stones, and wild roses complement the succulent fruits in this dynamite Pinot.
