A little juxtaposition from Bentrock, Rancho La Vina and La Encantada. Ruby light all the way out to thin clear edges. Burnt-sugar nose fires up with alcohol and green bean over a cassis-ridden peach nectar stretched with black licorice. Smooth and blend-perfect, and entry-level SRH pinot to be proud of, firing rich cranberry off a little road-tar and heat of into a tart finish.
