Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The brilliant 2012 Pinot Noir Eoin (440 cases) comes from 12-year-old Calera and Joseph Swan selections, and includes 33% whole stems. It tastes like a grand cru from Burgundy’s Morey-St.-Denis appellation. Copious notes of forest floor, earth, plums, Asian soy, raspberries, strawberries and black cherries jump from the glass of this full-bodied, rich, concentrated, stunning Pinot Noir. A smokey herbaceousness adds to the complexity of this 2012. It should drink well for another 7-12 years.
