Masut, Mendocino County (California) Pinot Noir 2011

May 2, 2013

By Robert Whitley

Masut’s Block 13 from this vintage offers richness and flesh without sacrificing the minerality that seems to be a consistent characteristic throughout the vineyard. This dark-fruited beauty also possesses an inviting floral note. While drinking very well right now, I believe the palate will lengthen out as the acidity softens, making this both a pleasing food wine and a delicious quaffer, too.
