Black Ridge 2014 Barn Block Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Barn Block Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Black Ridge / Santa Cruz Mountains

This clean if somewhat simple bottling starts with an extremely light and delicate nose of red cherry, rust, sagebrush, thyme and anise. The texture is light on the sip but the tannins prove somewhat grippy, with flavors of pomegranate and cracked pepper.
