Sante Arcangeli 2015 Split Rail Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Split Rail Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Sante Arcangeli / Santa Cruz Mountains

From a vineyard perched 1,700 feet above the Monterey Bay, this wine by brewer-turned-vintner John Benedetti is both very light yet incredibly flavorful. Rusty raspberry and strawberry aromas meet with dill, thyme and white pepper on the nose, while the palate offers soft red cherry and gently sprinkled herbs throughout.
