Talbott 2010 Logan Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Logan
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Talbott / Santa Lucia Highlands

There’s a green, vegetal unripeness to this wine that suggests asparagus. The cool vintage simply didn’t provide enough warmth to ripen the grapes, though the alcohol still manages to be quite high, which gives the wine a hot feeling.
