Bernardus 2010 Rosella’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Bernardus / Santa Lucia Highlands

So ripe and decadent, it is perhaps the wine equivalent of a candy bar, with raspberry, cherry, red currant, vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Pinot doesn’t get any tastier than this, but it does get more complex. Still, this is fancy enough to drink over the next six years with steak, duck, tuna or lamb.
