Loring Wine Company 2013 Rosella’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Santa Lucia Highlands

Winemaker Brian Loring’s take on this coveted vineyard shows rhubarb, pencil lead and a very clove-y cinnamon aspect on the nose. Raspberries mark the core of the palate, but the edges are speckled with strong herbs, from oregano to juniper. It offers a great mix of fruit and spice.
