Byron 2007 Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Julia’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Byron / Santa Maria Valley

A brilliant wine, massively sculpted and monumental, that shows how great this vineyard is. The wine shows densely concentrated flavors of blackberries and licorice, with the loveliest accent of sweet worn leather and rhubarb, flourished with the dusty spices that always characterize a fine Santa Maria Pinot Noir. Best now–2013.
