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

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

From 35-year-old dry farmed wines (the oldest in Corralitos) and 30% whole cluster/wild yeast fermentation comes aromas of pine pitch and blackberry jelly. The flavors are driven by sagebrush against a backdrop of deep purple fruit, with distinctive notes of juniper and eucalyptus powering the flavors from front to back.
