J. Wilkes 2015 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: J. Wilkes / Santa Maria Valley

Smashed pomegranate and raspberry aromas meet with underlying mocha, herbs and plum skins on this bottling. The palate’s sour-plum flavor slides into turned loam and dried herb, which makes the wine complex but not quite delicious. A bit more time may smooth it out.
