2016 Last Light Wine Company - Derbyshire Vineyard Pinot

2016 Last Light Wine Company - Derbyshire Vineyard Pinot Noir (91 pts) @lastlightwine · ℹ️ This wine is from San Luis Obispo County in California. The wine is 💯 Pinot Noir. The fruit is all sourced, and wines are tiny batches. Ferments have some stem inclusion, inoculated yeasts, a low percentage of new oak, and moderate alcohol profile· 👁 Medium ruby color with a pale rim· 👃 Medium+ intensity on the nose. Aromas of ripe crunchy red fruits, Bing cherry, red currant, raspberry, violets, rose, stemmy, earthy, and cinnamon· 👄 The wine is dry, medium+ acidity, medium earthy tannins, medium+ alcohol (13.7%), and medium body. A medium+ length finish of flowers and bright red fruit· 🔔 A very floral wine, which I find charming. The fruit gets that California sunshine that makes it ripe and delicious. The grapes were picked at the right time, preserving the acidity but not letting the alcohol get too high. That rose note carries from the nose all the way through the palate. Smart wine and nice packaging. Retails for $38 on their website.
