Two thousand twelve marks the debut of David Ramey's first pinot noir, which came about because, as Ramey put it, "the fruit was incredible and everybody thought that I did a pinot anyway, so why not?"We discussed vintage generalizations and he mused on the fact that in the Old World such variable years are celebrated, while in California people tend to use a broader brush."Just because something isn't great doesn't mean it's bad," he said, "but that's lost on a lot of people."The 2011 vintage is a prime example, he pointed out."Are there a lot of not-so-good or just plain bad wines?Sure.Is everything bad?No way."Such vintages are the ones where experience, hard work, sacrifice and great vineyards really pay off ("you may only be able to make a little wine but make it good"), he commented, "and that's what people should focus on."
