Inception 2009 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Inception / Sta. Rita Hills

Doesn’t say so on the label, but according to the winery the grapes come from the highly regarded La Encantada Vineyard. It’s a very fine wine, showing cool-climate acidity, bright, ripe red fruits and fuzzy tannins, to which oak contributes a smoky, buttery sweetness. Good now, and should hold over the next six years.
