This is a very pretty set of new releases from Brian Talley and winemaker Eric Johnson. One of the signatures of 2012s is that the single vineyard Chardonnays and Pinots are not quite as differentiated as they are in most years, which is perhaps a bit more evident in the Chardonnays than the Pinots. The 2012 Pinots were vinified with fully destemmed fruit, with the exception of the Rincon, which saw 30% stems and the Estate, which was done with 10% whole clusters.
