Adrian Fog 2011 Mendocino County

Adrian Fog Pinot Noir Oppenlander 2011

. Rich aromas of dark berries, spice, and anise explode from the glass. Beautifully focused, the Adrian Fog has opulent, full mouth-feel and delivers wave after wave of berry, black cherry, and strawberry continuing on to a mile-long finish. While it is clear that this Pinot is built to last, it is thoroughly enjoyable now.
