Napa Cellars Pinot Noir 2011

Napa Valley, California, United StatesSouth Napa fruit near San Pablo Bay is behind this smoky, vanilla, rhubarb, floral, cherry-scented red. The attack is juicy with glossy textures awash in strawberry jam, cherry, smoky vanilla, herbal, carrot top, caraway, compost flavours. A bit warm but good varietal intensity and balance for current drinking. Aged in French oak for 12 months.Tasted: 23 January 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
