2001 Queen of Hearts Pinot Noir

[dananne]

Santa Barbara County. 100% varietal fruit sourced from Lucas and Lewellen vineyards. Daniel Gehrs is the winemaker. I picked it up based on the Gehrs involvement, as my wife and I love his wines. This was a very nice P/Q ratio pinot noir, and varietally-true. Good, round cherry fruit on the nose and entry, with a touch of forest floor coming in midway. A little barnyard comes in on the finish. Nice texture, very fine tannins, good acidity. 13.7% alc.

Best $9.99 Pinot Noir I've ever tasted.
