Craggy Range Winery Pinot Noir 2016 Review
Crazy expressive Pinot Noir with prominent notes of ripe blackberry. The nose continues with hints of dried herbs (thyme?), speckled around aromas of truffle and sweet, ripe tobacco. As a little bit of leather strap emerges with some nice coconut vibes from good oak. It's a bit tannic and damn delicious.
