(FYI--this note is from a composite barrel sample). At this stage, and maybe I will be called crazy, I found this 2013 sample to be better in tone and flavor for me than the finished and bottled 2012. Lithe, red fruits, leaner, delicate and great acid. Like with many of Sam's pinot noirs, this too has a zesty quality.

POE Wines - Winemaker's Dinner with Samantha Sheehan (The Loft @ The Montage - Laguna Beach, CA): Barrel sample. Really, this will be better than the '12? What a nice problem. Great structure with lots of spice and dark fruit wrapped in an acid blanket. Now go back to sleep and get your rest my little baby. Shhh....
