title: Bernardus 2009 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Enormously ripe, as you'd expect from this famous vineyard. Explodes in red cherries, licorice, cola, anise and smoky sandalwood, so rich and deep and long in the finish. Plenty of racy acidity provides balance. You might want to give this Pinot a few years in the cellar to calm down.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Pisoni Vineyard
