These new and upcoming releases from Joseph Phelps's Sonoma Coast property are quite attractive. The 2012s have turned out nicely. I was quite surprised to see just how rich the 2012 Pinots are. In that sense, they are markedly different in style from the generally more perfumed, mid-weight Pinots that typically emerge from this part of the coast. The 2013s have a little more energy and delineation than the 2013s. Phelps opted to bottle the 2013s earlier than the 2012s, which meant I saw them just after bottling.
