Twin Oaks 2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Twin Oaks / Santa Lucia Highlands

Far better known for Chardonnay, the Sleepy Hollow vineyard also grows a small amount of Pinot Noir, which it sells to outside wineries. Twin Oaks has done a creditable job in crafting this drily interesting Pinot. Pale in color, it has a light, silky texture, but the flavors are full, suggesting raspberries, cherries, root beer and Asian spices.
