From Orange County
| Vintage: | 2011 |

| Description: | "Melted road tar, incense, licorice and black stone fruits are some of the notes that emerge from the 2011 Clos de La Roche. Even with all of its obvious size and heft, the Clos de La Roche remains exceptionally elegant. Layers of dark, balsamic-infused fruit build to the intense, enveloping finish. The 2011 was vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in 50% new oak. I tasted all of Virgile Lignier's 2011s from tank, just before their imminent bottling, which was scheduled to start in December 2012. The first fruit was brought in on September 7. Lignier reported healthy fruit and stems. Readers will note a healthy amount of whole clusters in these wines. Lignier opted for gentle extractions, with more pumpovers than punchdowns. New oak was in the 30-50% range for most of the wines." Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2012 |
