Country: US / Holtermann Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Alma Fria / Sonoma Coast
This is extreme Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, from an Annapolis-area vineyard. It’s juicy and velvety on the palate, the layered dollops of black tea and savory cardamom accenting crisp orange peel, cranberry and pomegranate. Floral upon entry, the wine proffers subtle yet ample acidity and relatively low alcohol.
