"A smoking effort, the 2012 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard gives up rich, savory notes of kirsch and black cherry fruit, dried earth and spice in its medium-bodied, textured, sexy personality. While it certainly shows the vintages forward, upfront nature, it has beautifully integrated acidity, ripe tannin and a terrific finish. In short, it's a fantastic Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 4-5 years. The young and talented Andrew Vingiello continues to make superb single vineyard Pinot Noirs under his AP Vin label. Described as a "post card" vintage by Andrew, these 2012s showed beautifully from barrel, and were all outstanding from bottle. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Looking at the 2012 Pinot Noirs from barrel, they appear to be a step up from the 2011s (which are no slouches). The lightest of the trio, with gorgeous purity of fruit and a seamless texture, the 2012 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard has great aromatics, medium-bodied richness and thrilling purity and detail on the finish. Most likely surpassing the 2011, it's a beautiful Pinot Noir that should have a decade of longevity. Drink 2015-2022. - Jeb Dunnuck"
"A rich and full-blown version, with dense, expressive dark berry, mocha, toasty oak and spicy-peppery notes. This potent youngster shows a big upside, ending with a full range of deep, persistent flavors. Drink now through 2023. 350 cases made. –JL"
