title: Kendall-Jackson 2012 Outland Ridge Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
description: This substantive Pinot shows definite toasted oak character along with ripe fruit, full body and firm tannins. Hints of oak smoke and caramel waft over the ripe plum aromas. The flavors go to dark cherries and coffee, the texture is attractively astringent from tannins, and the finish carries a little bite. Well done but not overdone.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Outland Ridge
