Holman Ranch 2010 Hunter’s Cuvee Pinot Noir (Carmel Valley)

Country: US / Hunter’s Cuvee
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Holman Ranch / Carmel Valley

There’s a touch of forest floor funk on this wine, but the nose also shows lots of stewed black cherries, chemise and mint-chocolate chip. The palate is deep and rich but not overly ripe, with raspberry and elderberry fruit cut by herbal seasonings of oregano, thyme, marjoram and mint.
