Nielson Pinot Noir 2016
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe fruit comes off three dominant pinot noir growing regions in Santa Barbara County: Santa Maria Valley, one of California’s coolest AVAs brings the aromatics; Los Alamos, a slightly warmer site bringing the riper, darker fruit; and the Sta. Rita Hills AVA's steep slopes adding stony minerality and austerity. It spends 16 months in French oak, but only three percent is new. Look for fresh, brambly red fruit and vibrant black cherry to spill onto the dense palate. All the blocks are harvested separately to allow for a wide choice of tastes. A delicious style that has turkey written all over it.Tasted: 14 September 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
