Tatomer, Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County, California, USA 2016

Graham Tatomer is known more for his excellent old-vine Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners, but he makes a selection of cool-climate Pinots too. This one is an elegant, lighter-style blend of many of the single vineyards he works with, boasting leafy and woodsy red cherry aromas and a lifted, savoury palate of rhubarb and just-ripe strawberries Pretty, sappy and lipsmacking.
