2013 Furthermore Sierra Mar Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.60, 133 cases, $55. Pisoni and “828” clones. Harvest Brix 28.0º. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Earth-kissed aromas of blackberry jam lead to a delicious melange of luscious black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors with a welcome hint of spice and oak. Nicely balanced, with a lengthy finish that had good cut. The most richly endowed wine in the 2013 lineup. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the nose had really blossomed and the texture had become quite soft and sexy. Score: 93. Reviewed June 5, 2015
