La Fenêtre 2006 Cargasacchi Jalama Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Cargasacchi Jalama Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: La Fenêtre / Sta. Rita Hills

Considering how pale this Pinot pours, it’s surprising how rich it tastes. Wrapped into the delicate, silky texture are peppery, spicy flavors of cherry and raspberry toffee, root beer, mocha and caramelized brown sugar flavors. Exotic now, it’s probably at its best early on.
