Pinot Noir, Fiddlehead Cellars, Fiddlestix, Seven Twenty Eight, Santa Rita Hills, 2002

in , ,

Brilliant light ruby with touches of garnet. A nicely complex nose with hints of toasty oak, caramel sugar and black tea. Good ripe fruit on the palate, with tar and burnt wood notes over bright bitter cherry fruit. A lovely finish dominated by tea, smoke and a touch of vanilla. Very nice. Drink over the next 2 to 3 years.
