Country: US / Taylor Lane Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Belle Glos / Sonoma Coast
The best of Belle Glos’s 2008 Pinots. It’s notable for the extreme richness of the raspberries and cherries, which have a jammy intensity with even more succulent notes of vanilla cream and smoky butter. But the finish is dry, while acidity and tannins bring the wine to earth. Delicious now and through 2014.
