Burrell School Vineyards 2011 Principal's Choice Estate Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
From a winery atop Summit Road between Santa Cruz and San Jose comes this wine with a hefty, rich nose of fresh-pressed raspberry, black plum and strawberry notes, boosted by Dr Pepper and light licorice spice. Notes of nutmeg and allspice mix with juniper, dried plum and boysenberry on the lush palate. Matt Kettmann
