title: Cartograph 2009 Perli Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mendocino Ridge)
description: Although there's only 25% new oak on this wine, it's dominated in youth by caramel and buttered toast aromas and flavors. That makes it awkward, despite ripe, forward cherry and raspberry fruit. Might calm down after a few years.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Perli Vineyard
