Loring Wine Company 2013 Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Clos Pepe Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Sta. Rita Hills

A more restrained style from Brian Loring, this conveys aromas of plump blackberry and plums surrounding a line of licorice. The palate is a bit thicker, with black cherry flavors lifted by bergamot-like citrus skins and chopped herbs.
