Ken Brown 2013 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

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

This appellation blend is rich and lush with baked black-cherry aromas, touches of black cardamom and clove spice, and earthy rhubarb and beet notes. The palate packs a lot of forest-floor flavors, from loam to pine needles, into dark cranberry and tight raspberry fruit, leveled by pepper and pencil lead.
