Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Pinot Noir has the most difficult job of any wine varietal in maintaining a ying-yang balance between subtlety and finesse. One aspires not to overwhelm, but rather, to seduce. The 2000 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot enraptures our strongest sense, the nose, with a rich invitation to savory red fruits. The first sip confirms this premise by offering a warm mouthful of almost sweet, strawberry-rhubarb compote. Set off against the structure and spice of this classic mountain fruit’s acidity and tannin, the wine closes with a real sense of place, here at home in the mountains.
