title: Sarah's Vineyard 2011 Estate Pinot Noir (Santa Clara Valley)
description: Though not known as a particularly cool region, the hills southwest of San Jose turn out solid Pinot Noirs for this winery. Aromas recall olives, forest floor and cloves, and flavors are quite smooth, with buttered cherries, peppery spice, cola and vibrant acidity that cuts a clean, quick finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Estate
