Ferrari-Carano Pinot Noir 2012

Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, United StatesSmoky, vanilla, black cherry, celery root, tobacco-scented nose with peppery highlights. Ripe, round, full, juicy palate with light tannins and a savoury, rhubarb, cedar, smoky, vanilla, cherry jam and chocolate flavours. Good fruit and intensity if a bit warm and tart on the finish. Could use a year or two to fully soften.Tasted: 17 July 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
