2016 Pence Ranch Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills

(93 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The excellent 2016 Pinot Noir Estate offers up a sapid bouquet of sweet spices, smoke, wild plum and rich soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied with rich tannins, a succulent core of juicy fruit, nice concentration and depth. This is a characterful, complex Pinot Noir with plenty of substance to enjoy over the next decade. (WK)   Review Date: 04/2018
