Ryan Cochrane 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County

On the nose, aromas of pomegranate and rose petals are complemented by savory notes of dried pork and wet sidewalk. The palate is framed by zippy acidity, revealing flavors of blood orange dusted in thyme and white pepper. This complex Pinot Noir strikes a delicate balance between subtle earth, fresh fruit, and perfume. Dried rose petals, wild berries, and muddled sage create a beautiful potpourri of aromas. On the palate, classic flavors of raspberry, seared mushrooms, and subtle pepper emerge. The wine finishes with bright, mouthwatering acidity and lingering fruit and oaky spice.
