Black Kite 2010 Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Soberanes Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Black Kite / Santa Lucia Highlands

This is a big Pinot Noir that’s dark, heavy and rich. It tastes like a confection with raspberry and cherry-pie filling, with hints of currants, roasted almonds, milk chocolate and anise. While it’s in-your-face now, it should mellow over the next six years.
