Fetzer 1998 Barrel Select Pinot Noir (California)

Country: US / Barrel Select
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Fetzer / California

About a third of this is Bien Nacido Vineyard (Santa Barbara) fruit; the rest comes from Sonoma. Plenty of cedar, earth and some cherry-tomato flavors in this fruit-forward wine. Strawberry preserves and that darn hint of tomato extend into the finish, along with a fair bit of tannin.
