Central Coast

Bright cherry, raspberry and toasty oak sit beside dark cherry, vanilla bean, earth and warm spice. Baked strawberry, charred game, sage and thyme appear in the aromatics. The palate carries integrated tannins and a long finish. Pinot Noir from California's Central Coast forms this medium-bodied red, with thirteen-and-a-half percent alcohol. Roasted vegetables, mushrooms, turkey or duck suit its combination of fruit, earth and oak.
