Longoria 2006 Fe Ciega Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Fe Ciega Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Longoria / Sta. Rita Hills

Despite what increasingly looks like a weak vintage, the pedigree of this vineyard shines through, making the best of a bad situation. The wine is nowhere near Longoria’s wonderful 2004 and 2005, but shows a classic, silky mouthfeel and enough cherry, currant and clove flavors to satisfy. Drink now.
