Waxwing 2013 Spring Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Spring Hill Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Waxwing / Sonoma Coast

From the cooler reaches of the Petaluma Gap, a sub-area of the larger Sonoma Coast that is awaiting its own appellation status, this Pinot was made with 25% whole-cluster berries, giving it a rough-hewn, earthy edginess that’s appealing in the glass. Tightly wound cherry and cranberry complete the picture, with a taste of dried herb and black tea on the lengthy finish.
