Lucienne 2014 Doctor’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Doctor’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Lucienne / Santa Lucia Highlands

Sultry black cherry, clove and crushed graphite show on the nose of this single-vineyard study from Winemaker Paul Clifton. That baked black-cherry power arises strongly on the palate as well, with lots of allspice and star anise. The wine finishes crisp, wiping the palate clean.
