2018 "Kokoro" Pinot Noir 1.5L

Santa Barbara County, JD96+

"Lastly, the 2018 Pinot Noir Kokoro is a cellar selection from sites in Santa Barbara County that spent 20 months in 75% new French oak. It's a more structured, backward wine offering spicy blackberry and raspberry fruit as well as notes of chocolatey herbs and spice, full-bodied richness, building tannins, and a great finish. It's certainly loaded with potential, but a good 2-3 years of bottle age are warranted."
