Balletto 2014 Burnside Road Vineyard Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Burnside Road Vineyard Estate Grown
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Balletto / Russian River Valley

A vineyard-designate since 2007, this wine shows vigor and volatility in the glass, a mix of white pepper, heightened acidity and an underlay of black tea and forest floor. Brooding in dark berry, it never lets the fruit become entirely ripe, opting instead for savory complexity.
