  We bought a half case of mixed single vineyard Lemelson Pinots, direct from the winery. All bottles well-stored. We let them sit about six weeks to overcome any bottle shock. The 2013 Meyer Vineyard is, so far, the best of the lot. We still have two to go. A somewhat austere nose, showing the tannins, but not giving away the ample fruit. We call this one spicy, with red cherry with a hint of dark berry and briar smoke. A delicate wine with a long finish. Well balanced. Excellent with seared grouper, black beans, rice and pineapple. Good for at least another 5 years. A very well deserved 94 from us.

  A little disappointed in this usually wonderful wine. Faint nose and a bit sharp and acidic on the palate. 2013 was a tough vintage, though, especially compared to '12 and '14.

  Quite aromatic with spices, herbs, and dark cherries. Something about the tannins or texture makes me think there's some whole cluster here. Not fully integrated. Still a little rough. Structure dominates the flavors, and drives the medium finish. 89 right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if this gained a couple points with some age.
