“The 2012 Pinot Noir Terra Neuma is similar to the Platt in its flavor profile, with perhaps just a little less exuberance. Dark blue/purplish fruit, cloves, violets and lavender all take shape in a forward, juicy Pinot with tons of near and medium term appeal. Hints of white pepper and orange peel add an element of exoticism and pure aromatic lift. I very much like the sense of energy here. If some of the angular contours soften, the 2012 may be even better than this note suggests.”
