The 2012 Pinot Noir Meyer Vineyard comes from volcanic soils and tends to produce wines with pH of around 3.4, probably due to the potassium in the soil. The bouquet has more cohesion than the Thea's Selection, with mulberry and undergrowth scents emerging from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin, a little dry and masculine, but with appreciable tension on the finish.
