2016 Neely Picnic Block Spring Ridge Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

13.6% alc., 98 cases, $48. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Lovely aromas of cherry, strawberry and sous-bois. A complex wine with earth, botanical, animale and black cherry and ripe strawberry fruit flavors. This wine has inviting energy and juiciness, integrated sweet tannins, a soothing texture and a succulent cherry-driven finish of notable persistence. Score: 93. Reviewed March 23, 2019
