  Delicious and deeply, deeply varietal characteristic. A little showy. A little oaky. Very up Front.

  WOW! Had to see what all the fuss was about.
  
  Beautiful bouquet of wild strawberries....wonderful acidity, and a firm but approachable tannic backbone, that makes me believe this wine will continue to improve with age, as most Brewer Clifton Pinot's do.
  
  I've been a long time fan of this estate, but was not very impressed with their 2010's and 2011's (lean, vegetal and singular). This lineup of 2012's, primarily the St Rita Hills bottling, represents a return of top quality and fine wines to the estate.
  
  This Pinot is for real...it belongs in the top 10 on the WS list...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
