2009 Jonata Paring Pinot Noir

2009 Jonata Paring Pinot Noir

Aromatically, the 2009 Paring pinot noir has a savory/sweet balance of complex resin notes—underbrush, pine forest, cedar, incense—alongside a healthy dollop of black cherry and raspberry. Then, as a nod to the wine’s cool, windy climate, a black pepper note emerges. The palate is round and supple, yet focused with a solid core of ripe red fruit and spice. Background notes of mineral, smoke and sea brine represent the gifts of age from the older vines. Bright red fruit and the signature Sta. Rita Hills acidity maintain a delicate balance and great length in the wine. Wine maker Notes
