title: Roessler 2008 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Rich in cherry and raspberry pie filling flavors, with red currant, cola and exotic pomegranate notes and a super-spicy finish. Bone dry, this Pinot shows the classy elegance of its vineyard source. On the downside is very tart acidity, as if the wine contained a big squirt of lime juice. Hard to tell where it's going, if anywhere, but nice after decanting with a grilled steak.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Sanford & Benedict
