Country: US / El Jabalí Vineyard – Mt. Eden Clone
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Alma Rosa / Sta. Rita Hills
Shows a real Burgundian-style earthiness, with rich humous, mushroom and gamy, leathery flavors, marbled with a deep well of spicy plum sauce. This earthy richness, with the distinct tannins, suggests ageability for this dry wine. Best after 2009.
