Byron 2014 John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / John Sebastiano Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Byron / Sta. Rita Hills

There’s a great deal of sagebrush on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard in the eastern Sta. Rita Hills, along with red cherry, pencil lead and sandalwood. Dark cherry and cranberry flavors power the palate, the fruit wrapped in hickory smoke. Thyme flavors carry into the tannic finish.
