Boekenoogen Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
A big nose of crushed, ripe bing cherries, stewed strawberries, and rhubarb pie. More cherry on the palate along with strawberry shortcake, cedar, cinnamon, cardamom, oak, menthol, and the Monterey Bay minerals and pepper. Despite being high alcohol, this pinot is smooth from start to finish with medium tannins and high acid. Powerful, an excellent match with grilled salmon, but I think it would hold up to a lightly seasoned steak.
