title: Woodenhead 2011 Pinot Noir (Mendocino Ridge)
description: Unfined and unfiltered, this has a deep garnet color with a little smoky touch at the rim. The aromas resemble ripe cherries and cola, the flavors emphasize both fruit and savory components like sage and smoke and the feel is nicely dry. The way it holds back a bit on richness is fine for a change.
variety: Pinot Noir
