2016 Etude Fiddlestix Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $50. Clones 667, 777, 113, 115, Pommard 4 and 5. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. A toned and trim wine with enticing aromas of dark berries, exotic spices and rose petal. There is a discrete well of black cherry and blackberry fruit accented with spice and underlain with a vital arrow of acidity. No tannins to speak of make this wine easy drinking. Score: 93.
