Country: US / The Crooner
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Folk Machine / Potter Valley
A very good Pinot Noir out of Potter Valley, one of inland Mendocino’s cooler spots, made by Kenny Likitprakong, who also makes the Hobo and Banyan wines. This cinnamon and red cherry-tinged Pinot opens up with aplomb, getting more and more Burgundian in nose as it goes and at 13.5% alcohol, will get you pleasantly through a meal.
