Barrel Burner 2013 Pinot Noir Central Coast California

California’s Central Coast is home to some of the America’s finest Pinot Noir. The region’s moderate temperatures lengthen the growing season, which results in wines with an intense and savory taste—a flavor rarely found in Pinot Noir grown outside its native Burgundy. The combination of this Burgundy-like intensity with distinctly American winemaking produces a Pinot Noir that is celebrated throughout the world.

The Barrel Burner 2013 is a mid-weight Pinot Noir marked with a distinct, bright acidity that serves to draw fruit flavors through the palate. On the nose, strawberry shortcake and intense red currants dominate, accompanied by earthy hints of portobello mushroom. Barrel-aged in French and American oak to draw out its flavorful intensity, this wine succeeds in highlighting the very best in Central Coast Pinot Noir.
