Fess Parker 2012 Older Barrels Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Older Barrels
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Fess Parker / Sta. Rita Hills

The nose on this Fess Parker study of barrel age is dominated by Christmas trees and eucalyptus, with subtle red fruit in the background. The palate is woody too, with tart cranberry amidst camphor, burnt cedar and spicy forest herbs. A very intriguing bottle.
