As promised the wine is intensely aromatic and pure with vibrant fruit. The lively bouquet is bright and effusive with raspberry and black cherry fruit complexed with a savory halo of black tea and clove. Supple, silky and expressive on the palate yet with great backbone and vibrant, crunchy acidity that lifts and carries juicy and well-delineated red fruits complexed with clove and nicely integrated oak in a long, pure finish. This is a beautifully balanced wine with tremendous elegance, verve and complexity for the Pinot Noir enthusiast! 100% Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands14% alc. Show more
