Dutton Estate Karmen Isabella - Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir 2015 Review
A big, complex, and weighty style of California Pinot. Dark ruby in color, with aromas of wildflowers and chocolate cake. Flavors of cherries, blackberries, raspberries, savory oak, and noticeable alcohol heat. The texture is taut, with lively tannins. If you like your Pinot's big, you'll like this wine. Will get more complex with age.
