Presqu’ile, Santa Maria Valley (California) Pinot Noir 2014

Oct 27, 2016

By Rich Cook

Presqu’ile continues its line of successful Pinot Noir offerings with this 12.9% alcohol glass that’s bursting with cherry, dry earth, cardamom and sweet oak spice aromas and flavors.  It’s a great find for those seeking lower octane without sacrificing flavor and finish.  I’d rest this a few years to fully integrate the oak.  A blend of clones 115, 777, 667 Pommard and Mt. Eden.
