2013 Weatherborne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

13.9% alc., 450 cases, $35, screwcap. Sourced from the John Sebastiano Vineyard. 8%-9% whole cluster. Aged in 10% new French oak barrels. · Moderately light dark cherry color in the glass. Lovely aromas of dark red cherry, plum, raspberry coulis, fruit leather and spice. Juicy and fresh with bright flavors of black cherry and black raspberry with fine grain tannins and complimentary oak in the background. Admirable balance and easy approachability. Still satisfying the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 92. Reviewed March 16, 2015
