Pfendler 2008 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Pfendler / Sonoma Coast

When a young Pinot Noir is dominated by oak, as this one is, it’s a little worrying. Will the oak be absorbed in time, or will it always be excessive? This young wine has pleasant cherry, black raspberry and cola flavors, but the oak seems to have the upper hand. Drink soon.
