2013 Furthermore La Encantada Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.51, 126 cases, $45. Clones 667 and 777. Harvest Brix 26.8º. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. A well-crafted wine that offers uplifting aromas of black cherry, spice and scrub brush. The blackberry and black raspberry fruits lean to the riper side with even a subtle note of black raisin creeping in. Oak contributes a coffee and dark chocolate note. The tannins are well-proportioned and there is enough acidity to compliment the fruit load. The slightest sense of alcoholic warmth shows up on the finish. Score: 90. Reviewed June 5, 2015
