@Delectable this is the Submarine Canyon arroyo Seco Pinot Noir. Silky texture and beautifully lifted palate of raspberry, pomegranate and subtle hints of fall leaves. Nose is a bit earthier with some stemy notes laying over the same red fruit as the palate. Overall a very pretty pinot. — 11 days ago
