Dragonette 2014 Duvarita Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Dragonette / Duvarita Vineyard

From a vineyard that’s actually west of the already coastal Sta. Rita Hills, this wine offers rounded red fruits of strawberry, plum and even watermelon on the nose, along with cinnamon and graphite touches. The palate combines cherries, hibiscus, rose petals and tangy cranberry, sailing through herbal touches into a dried mint flavor that carries deep into the finish.
