Oak-driven power shows on the nose of this wine, with aromas of smoked meat and singed chaparral as well as iron, mocha and wild berries. Rose hips and sour cranberries vie for attention on the palate, where graphite and a slight touch of cedar also come into play. || This is a big Pinot, dark and full-bodied, Rhône-like. It is not typical Santa Maria, although the acidity is cool-climate. It's very dry and fairly tannic, and calls for a slow-cooked meat dish, like short ribs, to play off its smoky, cherry flavors.
