Philo Ridge 2010 Marguerite Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Country: US / Marguerite Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Philo Ridge / Anderson Valley

This makes a nice change from the simply fruity norm. The color is a traditional light garnet with a bronze rim, while the aromas resemble rhubarb and raspberries. Flavors are earthy, savory and meaty rather than straightforward grapy. The texture is rather soft, the tannins muted and the body not too full.
