Mount Eden Pinot Noir 2009
Red
Santa Cruz Mountains, United States

WineSaint
Wild and uncharacteristic for Mount Eden, bursting with candied fruit and confected sweetness. Tropical notes and fresh mint create an almost jammy profile that feels more Sonoma Coast than mountain Pinot. The wood integration shows less restraint than typical estate bottlings. An anomaly that drinks with immediate appeal.
