The 2012 vintage can easily be described as potentially the best of the past decade. A nearly perfect flowering and fruit set in the spring along with warm yet moderate summer temperatures resulted in a harvest with wonderful balance and yields from the vines. Campbell’s Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals itself with a richness of purple color and subtle aromas of dark fruits and cola on the nose. The mouth feel is complex with layers that reveal a food friendly finish.
