Boekenoogen 2012 Garrett’s Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Garrett’s Vineyard Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Boekenoogen / Santa Lucia Highlands

This dry-farmed portion of the exciting family-owned estate delivers aromas of cardamom, pomegranate extract, cherry juice, ollallieberry, sweet woods and the yeastiness of a baking croissant. The palate shows cherry pie, pulverized cloves, star anise and more yeast, with a very full mouthfeel and silky tannins.
