Country: US / Single Vineyard La Coupelle
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Laetitia / Arroyo Grande Valley

Plump aromas of black cherry, mulberry, vanilla and star anise rise on the rich but not overbearing nose of this wine. There is dark-fruit ripeness on the front, but then comes a heavy array of spices, from allspice and clove to thyme and dried sage. The texture is soft, yet the tannins are noticeable and the acidity is buoyant.
