2017 Furthermore Sierra Mar Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., 120 cases, $55. Pommard 4 and Pisoni selection. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Highly aromatic, displaying scents of dark cherry, dark raspberry, blueberry-pomegranate, cola and spice. I thought I detected a very slight hint of Brett (sweaty horse) that was not off-putting. Mid-weight plus in concentration, offering super-ripe, luscious and sweet array of black stone and black berry fruits. There are hints of brown sugar and cocoa as well. Silky textured with buried tannins make for smooth going. Over time in the glass, the wine is less appealing as mostly a slug of fruit. Unchanged when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 90. Reviewed April 10, 2021
