The Monterey Pinot Noir is a fantastic showing from Big Basin Vineyards. The fog from the Monterey Bay comes miles inland to influence the vines, forcing them to struggle with ripening. The wine itself has an exciting nose of dark cherries, strawberry, red berries, exotic spices and rose petal. Overall, this is very elegant with excellent focus and a vibrant core of acidity through the finish. (Best 2015-2023) - May, 2015 (MD)
