Pence Ranch 2013 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Pence Ranch / Santa Barbara County

There are judicious hints of turned forest floor and barnyard funk on the nose of this wine from just east of the Sta. Rita Hills, with a licorice and wild berry fruit backbone. A lemon brightness highlights the palate, along with tobacco, black olives and a pronounced bitterness. The strong acidity will drive an evolution, so drink 2018–2030.
