Cutruzzola 2012 Gloria Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County)

Country: US / Gloria
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Cutruzzola / San Luis Obispo County

Coming from one of the few vineyards between the coastal town of Cambria and Paso Robles, this brooding wine offers dark and dank aromas of black dirt, slate, charred meat and very black cherry. Once sipped, sagebrush and lavender herbals emerge, along with sour cherry. A promising effort for an area that may be its own appellation one day.
