Cottonwood Canyon 2012 Bistro Red (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Bistro
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Cottonwood Canyon / Santa Maria Valley

This Pinot Noir-Syrah blend opens up with aromas of cherry compote, red currant, pencil shavings and roasted beets. It’s extremely silky on the palate, with purple fruit, even blueberries present. The alcohol is not out of balance, thanks to a touch of bitterness.
