Sanguis and superstar winemaker Mattias Pippig have another stunning new release wine with their 2013 'Loner R13-b' Pinot Noir release. This absolutely exceptional Pinot is sourced from the Santa Rita Hills, and displays an intense aromatic and flavor profile from this hot vintage. The wine opens with a bouquet of forest floor, black truffle oil, candied cherry, and cola. There are rich flavors of Black Forest cake, cherry cola, black raspberry, black truffle crudo and Asian spices. With a plush mouthfeel, this robust Pinot Noir is out of this world delicious. Be sure to give this wine at least a one hour plus decant if enjoying it in its full-throttle youth. (Best 2016-2028) - October, 2016 (OB)
