Mooney Family 2012 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Mooney Family / Santa Lucia Highlands

Inviting aromas of strawberry-vanilla chiffon, cinnamon and a hint of anise introduce this richly layered wine from the winemaker behind Chateau Margene, who sources these grapes from high up on Monte Nero. It’s thick and creamy on the palate, with deep flavors of black licorice, beet juice and pomegranate reduction sauce.
