August West 2011 Sierra Mar Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sierra Mar Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: August West / Santa Lucia Highlands

Lots of enjoyable cherry, currant, licorice and sandalwood flavors in this dry, crisp Pinot Noir. Firm tannins give it some toughness, but it doesn’t seem to be an ager, so drink over the next 3–4 years.
