Challen 2013 Scarlett Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Scarlett
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Challen / Santa Maria Valley

A plump nose full of fruit and spice shows black raspberry and mace. The palate is well fleshed out, with a range of fruit-forward flavors, including mulberry and exotic plum. Graphite minerality binds it together, surrounding tangy acidity.
