Affordable Californian pinot; around AUD 50; old name but nice to see from the cooler Santa Maria Valley to the south #california #pinot #2009 #santamaria #thewineemporium

Pinot noir that is well born needs a little chill in the summer! Bright strawberry and red cherry fruit with earthy tones. Still drinking quite nicely silky tannins and bright acidity.

A bit too floral for me. I warmed up to it after a bit but just didn't love it.

Medium body, longish finish, surprisingly good, vintage 2008.
