Greenwood Ridge 2006 Pinot Noir (Mendocino Ridge)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Greenwood Ridge / Mendocino Ridge

The winery has struggled with Pinot made from this warm, sunny highland appellation, which is more suitable for Zinfandel. Their ’06 is a savory wine, dry and rich in cherries and oak, with a silky texture. But there’s a heaviness that makes you think Pinot isn’t the best grape to grow this far above the Anderson Valley fogline.
