Byron Pinot Noir Sierra Madre Vineyard 1998

Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesSweaty spicy licorice cherry and orange peel aromas with a touch of creamy vanilla. Elegant and round but the fruit lacks ripeness and depth of flavour compared to the '97. Spicy carrot and oak dominate here and the finish drier and showing more tannin too.Tasted: 28 January 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
