Martin Ranch 2013 Thérèse Vineyards Griva Vineyard Pinot Noir (Arroyo Seco)

Country: US / Thérèse Vineyards Griva Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Martin Ranch / Arroyo Seco

From a vineyard tucked into the heart of the appellation, this bottling is hearty but not overripe, offering brawny black cherry, gingersnap, clove and crushed graphite scents on the nose. Subtle eucalyptus flavor leads the palate, crescendoing into warmer red cherry and baked cranberry notes, followed by licorice and thyme, and culminating in a vanilla -laced finish.
