Spy Valley Pinot Noir

Spy Valley pinot is ascending to a blacker fruits plane as its vines mature, with aromas of red and black cherries and brambles and a palate of well-defined and crunchy blackberry and cracked black pepper appeal. Finely poised, firmly textured tannins provide confident support, and a lick of morello cherry acidity brings tang to an impressively persistent and balanced finish. Brilliant value, especially at $23 at Discount Wines and $25 at Cracka.
