Waxwing 2013 Lester Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Lester Family Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Waxwing / Santa Cruz Mountains

This unfiltered wine is cloudy in the glass and rides the low alcohol, low ripeness movement, showing a tangy nose of green olive, tart cranberry and herbaceous peppercorns. The palate is all about spice and savory elements, with lots of acidity and not much ripeness at all. Drink 2019–2029 to test the early picking trend.
