Miner Family Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

Tasting 3 vintages of Sierra Mar Pinot Noir, nose of red cherry, raspberry, touch of cigar box, more of the same on the palate, medium body, silky, tasty, long, flavorful finish. My #2 of 3.

Solid Pinot, but not when considering the price

A gorgeous looking Pinot wearing a practically see through dress, the wine opens with scents of fresh picked strawberries and a hint of earth. On the tongue it delivers a great mix of light smoke and mushroom with raspberry sauce intertwined. After about an hour the finish finally revealed itself with beautiful sandalwood. A sexy classic Pinot with a light body and beautifully supple curves.

Let it breathe a while for the alcohol, it was pretty huge upon opening. After that faded, it was very pleasant with big flavors of raspberries and red cherries. This is a nice wine, but I've had many other less expensive bottles that I preferred more.
