title: Poiema 2012 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: A strong forest-floor character of juniper and damp pine needles blends with slate minerality, light cranberry, rose petals and violets on the nose of this bottling. The palate is complex and intriguingly funky, with composting rose petals, Earl Grey tea and stewed-fruit flavors.
variety: Pinot Noir
