    Petito Split Rock Vineyard Pinot Noir - Splendid

    2008-Petito-Split-Rock-Vineyard-Pinot-Noir
    So fun to drink we had to rate it a 10.

    Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, California.

    Available for as low as $19.99

    From the bottle:

    "This 110 acre vineyard is one of the Sonoma Coast's finest. It sits between 320 and 820 feet above sea level. It consistently produces high quality Pinot Noir, year after year. Spicy tones and red fruit are the result of this very uniquely made wine. This wine has great intensity and a long, lingering finish on the palate, along with a solid acid core that balances out the tannins.

    14.1% Alcohol"

    The 2008 Petito Split Rock Vineyard Pinot Noir begins with a big, wonderfully complex and inviting aroma that features black cherry, strawberry, smoky spice, dried herbs, cola and more. The wine tastes luscious, smooth and silky and features lots of deep juicy fruit that is wonderfully balanced with oak overtones and a fresh, bright acidity. It ends with an oaky, juicy, smoky, mineral-tinged, dry finish that lingers for a very long time. A perfect 10!


    Taste Rating: 10              Cost Rating: 1
    Overall Rating: 7.8

    Highly Recommended
