Pali Wine Pinot Noir Summit 2016

Summit is made from premium Pinot Noir grapes sourced from notable vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. This wine is hand-crafted, using small-lot fermentations and then aged in 30% new French oak for 15 months and bottled in summer 2017. "Summit" is carefully blended to create a distinguished Pinot Noir that is complex in character yet approachable upon release.

Always one of the more solid Pinot Noirs for the price, this appellation blend is quite dark in the glass and pops with aromas of fresh boysenberry and cola spice. Candied-berry flavors met with Dr. Pepper, licorice and tarragon on the palate, which culminates in an acid-washed finish.
