2012 Knez "Demuth Vineyard" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

A gorgeous wine, the 2012 Pinot Noir Demuth is all about balance. Here, the more favorable growing season yielded a Pinot long on class and elegnace. Bright cranberry, flowers and cinnamon jump from the glass, but ultimately, the 2012 is a wine of texture and depth, with better balance than the 2012 and tons of near-term appeal. (AG)
