Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Alma Rosa / La Encantada Vineyard
Elegantly structured, with firm tannins, a silky texture and a fine balance of fruit, acidity and oak. Shows cherry, red currant, cola and sandalwood flavors that are delicious, but those tannins close in on the finish, making the wine hard. Try after 2011.
