title: Riverbench 2013 Pommard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Cherry granita, black slate, rose petals and a tinge of sagey herbs combine on this single-clone study by winemaker Clarissa Nagy. The flavors are high toned, tight and quite elegant, with shaved tobacco, black pepper, and clingy acidity, before unleashing an energetic wave of espresso and orange rinds.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Pommard
