Last Light 2012 Derbyshire VIneyard Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County)

Country: US / Derbyshire VIneyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Last Light / San Luis Obispo County

From an extreme-coastal vineyard near Cambria, this shows lots of low-alcohol, low-ripeness qualities on the nose: Kalamata olive, sautéed brown mushrooms, wet asphalt and just the slightest hint of raspberry and cranberry. There is tons of tingly acidity on the palate, along with flavors of tobacco, marjoram, dewy oregano and barely ripe cherry tomato. Drink 2020–2030.
