Pali 2008 Summit Pinot Noir (Monterey-Santa Barbara)

Country: US / Summit
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Pali / Monterey-Santa Barbara

With rich, candied raspberry and cherry flavors, this Pinot is saved from simplicity by good structure. The tannins are rich and fine and come in equal parts from grapes and oak barrels. Acidity is pure cool climate. Give it a little more stuffing, and the score would soar.
