This is a ripe

dry and well-balanced finish

The palate is well-balanced on the entry with a fine thread of acidity

with notes of maple syrup

Rhys, Pinot Noir San Mateo County Size:12x750ml This is a ripeMuch more fruit loaded and rounded than the Santa Cruz Mountains release, the 2013 Pinot Noir San Mateo County comes mostly from the Family Farm vineyard, with a touch from Horseshoe. It gives up lots of strawberry, Bing cherry, spice, and floral nuances to go with beautiful fruit and texture on the palate. It's one of the most approachable Pinots in the lineup, but I suspect it will still have another 5 7 years of longevity.
