2012 Loyalist Pinot Noir Edna Valley

What came across as lush last go comes across as a touch flabby this time around. Lots of slightly overripe fruit hide most of the classic Pinot flavor that one hopes for. There are things to like here (the flavor is really nice) but the balance is all off.

Needs more time. Lots of potential though.

This wine is really in a sleep stage. It's way too closed in nose and taste. After 3 hours decanting, it is still closed showing only trace Asian spice and dark fruits. However, on the palate, the flavor is so complex with tannic backbone. I meet the same problem again. When I tasted 2003 Chateau Leoville Barton in 2014, the big wine character raised so many questions on my tongue. I barely can find any description to express the wine. Now, I had realized that the problem is just because of not yet at the drinking window. (The wine is still closed at second day.) I will definitely leave this wine for 10 more years. It should pay much more back to your patience.

A bit jammy, not much depth or complexity, but a serviceable everyday CdR. Decent QPR for $15. I was hoping for something more.
