it's taken some time for many of marlborough's 2012 pinot noirs (the product of a cool season) to come around, but this is one that's worth the wait. it's evolved into something quite round and soft, with a long, silky finish. yet it's not a fruit-forward wine by any stretch, showing more earth, soy and mushroom notes and just enough plum and black cherry fruit to carry those savory complexities. drink now–2020.
