Longoria
Fe Ciega Vineyard Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Immediately get some ripe red fruit, baking spices like nutmeg, forrest floor, wet wood. The palate has silky and somewhat chalky tannins with acidity that hits the putter rims of the mouth. The baking spices are present, but with a bit less ripe red fruit. Maybe some white pepper creeps in towards the end. This is a good showing with a bit more time, but why wait. Doesn’t need a long decant.

Joel’s birthday ski trip. Nice soft Pinot; very much fruit flavored - dark cherries, went very well with sushi.
