2016 Ojai Pinot Noir Puerta Del Mar Vineyard Santa Maria Valley

The salty, mineral-laced 2016 Pinot Noir Puerta Del Mar offers a distinct Burgundian-style in its forest floor, savory red fruits, moss, river rock, and earth. Fresh and lively on the palate, it stays balanced, layered, and silky, with no hard edges. It's another singular Pinot Noir from this estate that's going to benefit from a year or two of bottle age and keep for over a decade. Review Date: October 2018
