Varner Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County, USA 2015 La Mondotte While still predominantly linearThe 2015 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard has a pale garnet color and a classic nose of woodsmoke, cranberries, Bing cherries, tree bark, dried citrus peel, pipe tobacco and dusty earth. In the mouth, its light bodied and delicate with finely grained tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and amaro tinged. 91 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
