Villa Mt. Eden 1998 Bien Nacido Vineyard Grand Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Bien Nacido Vineyard Grand Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Villa Mt. Eden / Santa Maria Valley

An earthy-style wine emphasizing dark stone fruits, beetroot, tomato, and hard spices, all in that Santa Barbara/Bien Nacido style. Seasoned with generous oak, it tastes young and full-bodied, with big fruit and spice. Needs big foods, like roasts, or you can age it to settle it down.
