title: Whitcraft 2012 Pence Ranch Swan Selection Pinot Noir (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: This is a severe Pinot Noir, dry and acidic and unflattering to the palate. There are some good, complex cherry, currant, tea and spice flavors, but they're hard to appreciate because the wine is so tannic. It does not seem like a cellar candidate.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Pence Ranch Swan Selection
