Pali 2013 Huber VIneyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

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

Tart, plump cherries show first on the nose of this great wine, with pressed violet petals, smashed eucalyptus, crushed menthol and fresh tea aromas playing background. The tip of the palate is soft with red fruit before a zesty kola-nut character invades on a wave of sharp, even ferocious acidity, finishing up on wild mint herbals.
