Jackson Estate Los Robles Pinot Noir 2018
The Los Robles Pinot Noir was sourced from a hillside vineyard located near Los Alamos in Santa Barbara County. Los Robles is positioned almost perfectly as a hillside vineyard to take full advantage of what the daily sunshine and early morning fog can offer to Pinot Noir grapes. Aromatics of rose petals, rhubarb-strawberry pie and a hint of sassafras. Full mouthfeel that has wild strawberries, red licorice and cherry cola flavors. Lingering finish.
