La Rochelle 2007 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: La Rochelle / Santa Lucia Highlands

Sweetly caramelized, smoky oak, with all of its vanilla and wood sap flavors, dominates this wine, although it does have a considerable framework of raspberries and cherries. Feels a bit one-dimensional, but it’s a pretty Pinot Noir, from a good address.
