Big Basin 2008 Alfaro Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Alfaro Family Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Big Basin / Santa Cruz Mountains

A beautiful, young and firmly tannic Pinot Noir that should improve in the bottle. It’s fully dry and fine in acidity, with expressive flavors of black and red cherries, cola, beef jerky, crushed pepper and sweet, smoky sandalwood. Very nice now with a good steak, and ought to show development over the next 5–7 years.
