Phillips Hill 2012 Boontling Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

Country: US / Boontling
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Phillips Hill / Anderson Valley

This has a medium-garnet color, not overly dark, and the aromas are a bit restrained. However, the flavors ring out and range from higher notes of raspberry and cranberry to a bass note of black cherry for a whole octave of fruit. Classic firm acidity and tannins provide textural backbone and the finish, though lean, lingers.
