Big Basin 2012 Lester Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Lester Family Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Big Basin / Santa Cruz Mountains

Another wildly complicated Pinot Noir from Bradley Brown, this smells of crimini mushrooms, smoldering chemise and sweet cherry tomato reduction sauce, with a pinch of cinnamon. It’s lush with soft red and purple fruit once sipped, with smoky spice on the edges and smashed olives throughout.
