Coming from a number of vineyards spread throughout the Central Coast (30% from Laetitia Vineyard, which is the largest component), the 2013 Pinot Noir Central Coast spent 11 months in 10% new French oak prior to bottling. It has a light ruby color to go with perfumed, spice-filled notes of red flowers, sweet cherries, rose petal and sassafras. Beautiful on the palate, with a light, airy feel, plenty of acidity and a great finish, this should represent a super value and drink well for 4-5 years.

A dusty, loamy earth character runs throughout, with a trim mix of gravelly red berry, cranberry and cedar flavors. Ends clean. Drink now through 2019. 13,412 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Central Coast Select to Add
