2013 Davies "Nobles Vineyard" Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir

From a vineyard used successfully by Luc Morlet for his wines, comes the 2013 Pinot Noir Nobles Vineyard out of Fort Ross-Seaview. The wine is made from the Martini clone of Pinot Noir, with more recent Dijon clone selections such as 777 and 828. This wine comes across like a Musigny from Burgundy. Notes of crushed rock, red currants, black cherries, plum and forest floor are all present in this dense, dark ruby-colored wine that is rich, concentrated, round and capable of evolving for a decade or more.
