WTN: Ray-Ban

2012 Arnot-Roberts Pinot Noir Peter Martin Ray Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains (2/15/2021)
Pop and pour, but even after a couple of hours of air this is still very youthful and unevolved. The fruit is bright, and the acidity invigorating. There is a touch of earth and some menthol on the finish, but I would not have been surprised if someone had told me it was a 2016 or 2018. Last bottle, so no opportunity to check in later, but a fun drink.

I wonder what Martin Ray might have thought, hearing someone describe his Pinot Noir as a fun drink?From what I can gather, he was not inclined toward being a "fun" guy. :P
I don't know just how I'm supposed to play this scene, but I ain't afraid to learn...

My cellar is a no curmudgeon (except me) zone!
