My trip to California took me to the Byron tasting Room in Los Olivos. I picked up this 2012 Byron Monument Pinot which I brought home. On the nose there is a nice funk I like along with raspberry, cranberry, cola, and clove. On the palate is cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate, tart cherry, and a note of spice. There is a medium + acidity and medium tannins with a nice long finish.

This is barrel fermented and then aged in the same new French oak barrels.

I gotta give it two more points cuz my name is on it. Fairly warm and surprisingly deep, loads of red fruit and a
forgiving toward lighter Italian fare. also has aspects of glitter shoes and tight pants.
