Etude Lyric Pinot Noir 2013

Santa Barbara is one of California's coolest growing regions, by virtue of the direct influence of the Pacific Ocean. This factor, combined with a long growing season and ample sunshine, allows for the crafting of particularly balanced and concentrated Pinot Noir. The 2013 Lyric delivers ripe red fruit notes with anise and spice with velvety tannins. Fresh and bright acidity makes it an excellent and versatile food wine. Try it with anything from a smoky glazed ham to a rigatoni with roasted vegetables. (VINTAGES panel, Sept. 2014)
