Windy Oaks 2012 Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Estate Cuvée
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Windy Oaks / Santa Cruz Mountains

Windy Oaks’ 2012s are lighter in color than their vintage compatriots, yet not lacking in aromas, which include sage, tomato, black olive and curry. The leaner palate begins a bit light before emerging with olive tapenade and crushed herbs. It would pair well with a burger, roasted chicken, or gourmet burrito.
