Lucas & Lewellen 2012 Goodchild High 9 Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Goodchild High 9 Vineyard Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Lucas & Lewellen / Santa Barbara County

Lighter in color than many 2012s from Santa Barbara County, this wine begins with an inviting nose that offers scents of strawberry-infused balsamic vinegar and sandalwood. Once sipped, it’s light and crisp, but surprisingly powerful, with cranberry, pomegranate and a leather finish.
