Country: US / Mas Cavalls Doña Margarita Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Marimar Estate / Sonoma Coast
A brilliant Pinot Noir, grown organically from the winery’s new vineyard in a cool part of the coastal mountains. More tannic and acidic than Pinots from the estate vineyard in Green Valley, it offers lush, deep flavors of cherries, black raspberries, gingersnap cookies and almond biscotti. Just terrific, and will take a few years of bottle age in a cool cellar.
