2012 BARDEN SANTA RITA HILLS PINOT NOIR- from Doug Margerum of Wine Cask restaurant fame and his primary label, Margerum; this was my first exposure and our bottle was somewhat big and bold with an abundance of highly extracted black cherry fruit accented by toasty oak and vanilla; it had a big body and a lot of muscle; overall, it was very fruit forward and needs time to mature and balance out.[~$80]
