The 2012 Pinot Noir Stermer Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1997 on Willakenzie sedimentary soils, cropped at two tons per acre, picked October 10 and 13. It spend 14 months in French oak barrels, 32% new. It has a sightly deeper and more floral bouquet compared to Lemelson's other 2012s, tightly wound at first, but gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with thickset tannin, a solid and almost foursquare Pinot Noir with good density, but just a little abrasive toward the finish at the moment. Give this 12-18 months in bottle to mellow out a little and round off the edges.
