title: Storm 2013 John Sebastiano Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: South African winemaker Ernst Storm is one to watch. This bottling offers a smoky, black raspberry nose, with hints of brown mustard and beef char. There's tremendous energy on the palate, though it's rather light in body, with flavors of anise, black rocks approaching asphalt, and dark but not overly ripe plums. Solid tannins ensure more interesting drinking 2017–2025.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: John Sebastiano
