Wrath 2013 Ex Vite Pinot Noir (Monterey)

Country: US / Ex Vite
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Wrath / Monterey

Meaning “from the vine,” this 100% whole-cluster bottling presents black cherry, tart pomegranate, graphite, baking spice and sage bark on the nose. There’s lots of dark herbs and dark fruit on the palate as well as black-olive depth and black-slate minerality. With the density of herbs, it’s a bit like chewing on sage and eucalyptus.
