Wrights Station 2012 Arena Block Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Arena Block
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Wrights Station / Santa Cruz Mountains

This block-designation wine from the tip of the appellation shows an extremely spicy nose of incense and concentrated hibiscus. It proves rather light on the palate, yet bounces with the flavors of rose petals and violets, emerging into black pepper, clove and cinnamon. It’s lean yet bountiful with intrigue.
