Boekenoogen 2013 3 Clone Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / 3 Clone
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Boekenoogen / Santa Lucia Highlands

This clonal combo from a meticulously tended family vineyard shows iron, cranberry, strawberry blossoms, sagebrush and a wound-up minerality on the nose. Sanguine flavors power the tip of the palate alongside cranberry and pomegranate fruit. A suave spiciness of dried mint and menthol emerges in the midpalate.
