Pali 2012 Fiddlestix Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Fiddlestix
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Pali / Sta. Rita Hills

Dark cranberries, violet and sagebrush form the core aromas, with a bit of buttery crust on the edges of this blend of four clones. The flavors are black and bitter, with strong, plum-skin tannins currently hiding the riper fruit and spice rack that will emerge with more time. Pop this for Thanksgiving 2016 or 2017 to impress the table.
