Byron Pinot Noir Sierra Madre Vineyard 1997

Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesGrown on sandier soil than Byron vineyard this is a slightly lighter coloured pinot. Look for earthy, beetroot, spicy, raspberry and strawberry aromas. Fine complexity with soft deep cherry flavours. A lovely, supple, pinot noir that is bottle unfiltered.
