Scott Family 2014 Pinot Noir, Arroyo Seco

Named after the winery owners’ grandfather, Scott Family Estate wines are produced from Dijon Clones grown on estate vineyards in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey. The Estate’s vineyards, inland from Big Sur, have deep, gravelly soils, ideal for opulent Pinot Noir cultivation. This Pinot was aged 10 months in French oak. Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 90 points saying “Cranberry fruit and hibiscus lead the red components of the nose of this bottling, which are bolstered by the wild thyme and fennel fronds of a chaparral landscape. There is a pleasant sandalwood entry to the sip, where a rounded smoky quality surrounds the tart raspberry fruit.”
