title: Big Basin 2014 Coastview Vineyard Pinot Noir (Monterey County)
description: From a 16-year-old vineyard 2,200 feet up on the eastside of the Salinas Valley, this bottling offers fresh raspberry juice along with touches of bay leaf, pine and incense, like a morning walk through the forest. There is sizzling acidity at the start of the sip, which carries light, bright and tangy strawberry flavors along with more forest floor touches. The structure is upright but light.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Coastview Vineyard
