Flying Goat Cellars 2010 Rancho Santa Rosa Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Rancho Santa Rosa
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Flying Goat Cellars / Sta. Rita Hills

This single-vineyard bottling comes from Pinot Noir expert Norm Yost. Baking spices and cinnamon greet the nose, followed by sweet-tart boysenberry and freshly turned soil. On the palate, black licorice leads, followed by an impressively smooth, black cherry-laden midpalate, ending with tantalizing spices on the back end.
