Westerly 2015 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills
Deep ruby-purple colored, the 2012 Westerly Pinot Noir displays subtle aromas of ripe raspberries and crushed red cherries with underlying notes of violets, lavender, and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied, it is very well-balanced with crisp acid, a low to medium level of fine-grained tannins and satisfying berry and spice flavor layers that linger long into the finish. Drink now through 2020.

"Dusty earth, sweet cherry, soft licorice and sour cranberry aromas converge on the nose of this appellation blend. There's a wild character of dried sage and crumpled thyme on the palate, where ripe cherry and cranberry flavors give brightness to the earthy display."
