Medium ruby colored, the 2012 Envoy Johnson Vineyard Pinot Noir presents an impressive core of vibrant black and red cherry aromas with hints of red currants, violets and cloves plus a waft of wild thyme. Framed with lively acid and a medium level of fine-grained tannins, there are tons of sweet red berry flavors in the mouth and a provocative herbal edge that nicely compliments the density. It finishes long.
