title: McIntyre Vineyards 2009 Estate Block 3 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Acidity marks this dry wine, a low-cropped block selection from the estate vineyard. The fruit is remarkably concentrated, showing flashy, intense cherries and plenty of smoky oak. But that acidity definitely kicks. Hard to tell if the wine is ageable, but it does need a rich, fatty steak.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Estate Block 3
