3 stars, 90 points, Santa cruz Pinot noir


15.4% alcohol, do you really need to do that? Having said that, I find no heat and am enjoying the essence of fruit. Wild cherries on the nose translate into strawberry and bing cherry on the palate.
This wine has typicity at the expense of finesse. I like it’s taste, but find the alcohol offensive. A medium term wine, drink until 2016 .
3 stars but a generous 90 points on the pro scale. If they can get a lower alcohol and maintain the flavor, this wine has potential.
