title: Ryan Cochrane 2014 Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: This is a very light expression of the grape from a San Francisco-based producer, with thyme, chaparral, cranberry, tart pomegranate juice and wet clay on the nose. The palate shows light, tangy cherry juice, fennel, crushed olive and peppery spice. It will work well for fans of this style, but there's not enough there to entertain the mainstream Pinot Noir fan.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Fiddlestix Vineyard
