title: Longoria 2014 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: A strong black-pepper character on the nose of this bottling by veteran Rick Longoria also works dark elderberries and a woody spice into the aromatic mix. It's tightly wound and very young on the palate, where blackberry paste, black plum and roasted fennel barely peek out. The firm structure will reveal much more spice and fruit in the future. Drink 2018–2034.
