Bernardus 2012 Rosella’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Bernardus / Santa Lucia Highlands

This Pinot’s parts haven’t found each other yet. There’s big, ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, sweet, toasty oak, brisk acids and firm tannins, yet they form an unruly confederation. Stash this in the cellar until at least 2020.
