La Follette Pinot Noir Los Primeros 2016

A wild bouquet of raspberry, chicory and tuberose plays against earthier notes of juniper berry and forest floor.  With time in glass, warm sandalwood emerges.  A soft entry transitions quickly to red plum and bright, fruity acidity.  Supple tannins frame late-palate notes of oak spice, bark and tamari.  An aromatically layered and inviting Pinot Noir; nuanced and satisfying.

 A blend of two worlds (62% of the fruit from Sonoma County and 38% from Monterey), this is an approachable red wine, with a juicy entry of savory forest floor, black tea and black cherry. It finishes in a tartness of acidity akin to rhubarb.
