title: Fiddlehead 2011 Burtie Baby Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Winemaker Kathy Joseph delivers this seven-barrel ode to her father, who'd be proud of the tight blackberry, wet clay, shaved cedar and iron-rich aromas. The acidity is bountiful but not overpowering on the palate, where elderberry, dried lavender, wild mint and damp earth combine for a deep and lasting sip.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Burtie Baby
