Description

Sourced from benchland vineyards situated at the base of the Santa Lucia Highlands, this Pinot Noir has concentrated aromas of red cherry, strawberry and hints of baking spice with dark berry and black tea flavors on the palate. Well-balanced acidity and richness combine with silky tannins to create a long, smooth finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
This brand tends to overdeliver, and this bottling is a case in point. Aromas of dark plum and tree bark open up into warmer spices on the nose. The palate shows rounded cherry compote, ample baking spice and pleasant oak flavors.
