2014 Sweetzer Cellars La Encantada Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 147 cases, pH 3.55, TA 0.58, $45. Clones 667 and 777. 100% de-stemmed, 5-day cold soak, native and RC212 fermentation, aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. The aromas of black cherry, exotic spices and rose petal are highly satisfying. The gorgeous, well-spiced dark cherry fruit excites the senses on entree. Nicely composed, with balanced tannins and acidity, and a modest, but pleasing finish. Score: 90. Reviewed July 21, 2018
