Tantara 2015 Dierberg Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Tantara / Dierberg

Dark purple flowers and tart boysenberry paste show on the nose of this intensely concentrated wine, alongside pencil shavings, bay lead and a lot of iron minerality. More bay leaf and pine needle show on the herbally full and texturally grippy palate, giving minty spice to the dark fruit flavors.
