Foley Pinot Noir 2000

Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesAs the age of Santa Maria Hills Vineyard climbs past thirty years the crop yield continues to decrease. Look for gamy meaty big barnyard aromas mixed with smoke and tea and lots of black cherry. The entry is chock full of obvious ripe, black cherry fruit flavours and plenty of the Santa Maria acidity. A big time smoky vanilla and licorice character runs throughout and the finish is long. Big and powerful yet smooth and elegant.Tasted: 14 June 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
