LinCourt Vineyards Lindsey's Pinot Noir 2011
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesOnce a second label in the Foley Family hierarchy Lincourt is all grown as evidenced by Lindsay's Pinot Noir, a 100% Sta. Rita Hills based wine. The property is planted to individual micro-blocks set out by soils, exposure and elevation and in 2011, another cool vintage with no late summer heat spikes the result are terrific. After a cold soak and primary ferment the wine is aged for 19 months in 100% French oak barrels, 40% of which were new. This nose is particularly aromatic mixing cedar and strawberries with red cherries and dried herbs. The palate is smooth and succulent with juicy cherry fruit flavours with a pinch of barnyard and dried herbs. Pork or salmon would be a fine accompaniment.
