2017 Bruliam Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

WSI94 WE94 Baked black raspberry, rose petals tea leaves, smoked sage and a hint of blood show on the complex nose of this bottling. It lands with weight and chalky texture on the palate, which is full of roasted plum and sagebrush flavors, leading into a finish wrapped in sizzling acidity and vanilla-cookie spice.
Estate Notes: Pop the cork to heady aromas of cigar box, forest floor, and exotic spices that unfurl in your glass, exposing richly, perfumed raspberry cordial. Floral notes, blood orange, and even mulling spices add complexity to an expressive nose. The palate is a riot of ripe fruit enlivened with bright acidity. With great texture and palate weight, the finish is long and smooth. This Soberanes vintage is a real crowd pleaser.
