Scott Cellars’ 2007 Sierra Madre Vineyard Pinot Noir was produced from the beautiful Santa Maria Valley on California’s Central Coast. The winery’s first release from this notable vineyard, the 2007 Pinot Noir comes from small berries with rich density and concentration that promotes a nose that jumps out of the glass with classic fruit and spice aromas. This viscous wine is darker than most Pinots and packed full of big, round, ripe, fruit flavors that are perfectly integrated with layers of spice and earth notes. The tannins are amazingly supple and smooth and suggest a pairing with grilled tuna or slow roasted pork loin.
