Dog Point Vineyard, Pinot Noir Vintage:2011 The more refined

The more refined

I find the 2017 rendition of this wine to be in a pretty closed-up state but vigorous aeration brings out suave

There is excellent volume and concentration to the tautly muscular and powerful flavors that possess fine punch to the beautifully well-balanced and persistent finish

Once again there is solid intensity to the even finer medium weight flavors that also exhibit good minerality on the sleek

and a cocktail of black fruits

Dog Point Vineyard, Pinot Noir Vintage:2011 The more refinedThe boys at Dog Point have made a beautifully resolved pinot here, offering handsomely ripe cherry fruit and oak that adds plenty but doesn't intrude. The savory spice and sweetly meaty notes are alluring. The palate has plenty of supple flesh at its core, with fine, sweeping tannins that brush through smoothly and a freshness that drives the finish. Concentrated and elegant. Drink now.
