A very approachable and wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir from the Central California Coast! This 2012 Forefront Pinot Noir has a base of dense black fruit and hints of spicy back notes. A dazzling bouquet of juicy red cherry and ripe strawberry fruit woven amongst touches of dried rose petal and ground nutmeg rise from the glass. Brilliant acidity and impeccable balance characterize the full, ripe palate, filled with flavors of supple red raspberry and cherry pie filling, lingering through the velvety finish and accented by hints of briar, cinnamon stick, and brown sugar.
