Lincourt 2013 Lindsay’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Lincourt / Lindsay’s Vineyard

There’s a very savory, gamy element on the nose of this wine, which shows wild berries, woody shrubs, rusty iron and turned forest-floor aromas. The palate is punchy at first, with decent acidity and cranberry-plum-raspberry flavors, then clings to a pencil-lead core deeper into the sip. It offers quite a bit of complexity.
