title: Bjornstad 2008 Hellenthal Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
description: Lots of zesty acidity in this wonderfully complex, exotic Pinot Noir, which comes from the true Sonoma Coast, in the Fort Ross area. It's explosive in wild summer raspberries and cherries, briary nettles, vanilla bean and spices, with a perfect coating of sweetly caramelized oak. Very pure and refined, and best enjoyed young.
variety: Pinot Noir
