CRU Winery, Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County, California) Pinot Noir 2016

Apr 9, 2019

By Rich Cook

 A big red cherry nose is the calling card here, but it’s not alone, with rhubarb, dry earth and fall spice aromas and flavors adding dimension and a pleasant complexity.  Lean to white meat or fish when pairing to enhance both offerings.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
