Sinor-LaVallee 2008 Anniversary Cuvée Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County)

Country: US / Anniversary Cuvée
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Sinor-LaVallee / San Luis Obispo County

Falls off a notch from the ’07, with tart acidity and sweet oak dominating. The depth just isn’t there, although it’s certainly a fine wine. Tastes like buttered cinnamon toast spread with raspberry jam and sprinkled with white pepper and cocoa.
