title: Hoi Polloi 2015 Illicit Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Hibiscus, rose petal and sour cranberry kick off the nose of this bottling, but its most compelling aroma is the stark and ethereal minerality, recalling iron and crushed gravel. Strawberry fruit pops on the palate, as does ripe cranberry, but that earthy soil and crushed rock quality rises to the top again.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Illicit
