V. Sattui 2009 Doctor’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Doctor’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: V. Sattui / Santa Lucia Highlands

The winery used to make an indifferent Pinot Noir from Carneros, but now they have some good fruit, and the improvement shows. The wine is delightful, with crisp acidity brightening very ripe flavors of raspberries, cola and black cherries, with lots of smoky oak. Drink this complex wine now and for the next few years. .
