title: Cottonwood Canyon 2010 Elizabeth's Vista Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Though lightly colored, this is a powerful Pinot Noir from the estate vineyard of Norman Beko. He cold-soaks the fruit and ferments with native yeasts to deliver aromas of raspberry, pine and wet slate. The flavors range from pomegranate to violet to red rose to a fruit punch that lingers a long time thanks to a nice acidic lift.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Elizabeth's Vista Estate
