DAOU Vineyards Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard Santa Maria Valley 2019

“Bright ruby. Potent, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola, candied rose and vanilla show fine definition and a hint of smokiness. Lush and broad on the palate, offering intense red and dark berry preserve flavors that deftly blend richness and energy. Finishes very long and smooth, with repeating cherry and spice notes and pliant tannins adding subtle grip. 70% new French oak.”
