Brooks Pinot Noir Janus - 2012 (750ml)
The 2012 Pinot Noir Janus comes from vines planted in 1973 (Pommard clone) and 1997-2001 (Dijon clone). Winemaker Chris Williams told me that he likes to source fruit from Temperance Hill to lend earthiness to the blend. It has a forward nose with scents of blueberry and black cherry fruit that is nicely defined with light iris and violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannin on the entry. Quite citric in style, this is a more effervescent take on Pinot Noir with a pleasant austerity on the finish.
