Roar 2008 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Pisoni Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Roar / Santa Lucia Highlands

You don’t look to Pinots from this vineyard for delicacy. You look for power, sheer butt-kicking audacity. And that’s what you’ll find in this ’08 from Roar. It’s almost Rhône-like in the dark color and full-bodied richness, with its chocolate and black cherry fruit. But that’s Pisoni for you. Will age for the better part of a decade.
