In a vintage potentially muddled by warmth and a humidor of radio frequency, duplicating berry phenolics, Flat Rock's Gravity remains a definitive, signature house Pinot Noir. In 2 011, the head of the FR class from its most expressive barrels shared the limelight (and top juice) with the Pond, Bruce and Summit one-offs. In '12, Gravity's sandbox was its own. The style is surely dark, extracted, black cherry bent, as per the vintage. Yet only the Rock's soil does earth in this variegate, borne and elevated by the barrel's grain. There are no fake plastic trees in a Flat Rock Pinot. 'Gravity always wins.' Tasted March 2014. Score - 90. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, March 2014) Show more
