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

14.0% alc., 98 cases, $48. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Demure, but very pleasant aromas of cherry and fertile earth. A complete wine featuring mid weight flavors of dark cherry and dark berry blessed with an underlying earthy tone. Gracious tannins and ingratiating acidity make for an uplifting drinking experience. The fruit in this beautifully composed wine has an uncommon brightness and charm. Every Pinot connoisseur will love the lip-smacking finish. Score: 94. Reviewed March 23, 2019
