Boekenoogen 2009 Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Boekenoogen / Santa Lucia Highlands

This is a big, full-bodied Pinot Noir. If you’re seeking a delicate style, go elsewhere. It’s fleshy and precociously rich in cherry and mulberry fruit that’s soft and chewy, like a candy bar. Such are the acids and tannins that you’ll want to cellar it for three or four years.
