title: Hug 2009 Rancho Ontiveros Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Big, rich and sappy, this tastes like cherry and raspberry jam that has been boiled down and made into wine—a suggestion of its youth. It is very fine, with keen acidity and a noble structure tinged with minerality. Give it 3–5 years to age.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Rancho Ontiveros
