Schug 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
American Red
$32.49
Raspberry, strawberry and red cherry appear with spice and a light smoky oak note. Mouthwatering acidity is present. The cuvée is made entirely from Pinot Noir grown in the cool Sonoma Coast, including selected vineyards in western Carneros and the Petaluma Gap. Large neutral oak casks and older French barrels are used, with restrained new-oak flavour and lively acidity through the finish.
