Country: US / La Encantada Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Deovlet / Sta. Rita Hills
Very big and rich and extracted, offering massive flavors of cherries and raspberries, enriched with caramelized oak. Very delicious, if a little obvious. Pinot Noirs from this stretch of the southern Santa Rita Hills tend to age well, gaining earthy complexities over the years. This one could hang in there for a long time.
