Longoria 2011 Fe Ciega Vineyard Block M Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Fe Ciega Vineyard Block M
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Longoria / Sta. Rita Hills

Lean and minty. Despite a certain elegance, this Pinot lacks the voluptuous richness you want in a wine of this price. The chilly vintage seems to have taken its toll. There’s some good cherry and currant fruit, but the wine falls short. Drink up.
