Masut Vineyard & Winery, Mendocino County (California) Pinot Noir 2012

Feb 4, 2014

By Linda Murphy

Brothers Jacob and Benjamin Fetzer, scions of the famous Fetzer winemaking family of Mendocino County, specialize in Pinot Noir, and this is their flagship wine.  It has a pronounced earthy, forest-floor edge that frames the wild raspberry and black cherry flavors.  It’s a bit rustic in tannins and earthiness, yet is fabulous when served with mushroom-based dishes and roasted meats, and has palate-refreshing acidity.
