"Aged in 50% new French oak for 16 months, the medium ruby-purple colored 2016 Pinot Noir Benoist Ranch springs forth with floral notes of lilacs and rose hip tea with hints of exotic spices in the background over a core of black raspberries and blackberries plus a touch of chargrill. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in the mouth, it packs in the spices, finishing on a lingering perfumed note. 284 cases produced."
