City Winery Chicago 2015 Verna’s Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara)

Country: US / Verna’s Vineyard Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: City Winery Chicago / Santa Barbara

Dark mulberry, black raspberry, wet slate and a touch of whole nutmeg show on the nose of this bottling by a Chicago-based winery from a vineyard that now goes by the name Shokrian. It’s dry and tart on the sip, full of sour wild berries along with lots of sage and thyme, culminating in a cola and candied-plum finish.
