Brewer-Clifton 2011 Pinot Noir, Melville Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
Rating: 93
Bright ruby. Musky, highly perfumed aromas of fresh cherry, floral oils and Asian spices. Precise and lithe, with intense, vibrant cherry and black raspberry flavors enlivened by sappy minerality and a sexy floral element. Suave, juicy pinot, with strong finishing persistence and lift.
