title: Challen 2013 Jasper Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: This hearty and heavily spiced take on the grape offers fascinating black cherry, cardamom, chai spice and sanguine, meaty scents on the nose. The flavors may strike some palates as too intense, brimming with dried red cherry, Indian spice and kalamata olive, bound by energetic acidity and tactile grip.
variety: Pinot Noir
