Waits-Mast La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir - 2007

Waits-Mast La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir

Winery Story

Waits-Mast was founded by Brian Mast and Jennifer Waits. When they first met, they would often get together with friends and go on "moonligh... (more...)t meanders." Born of a love of poetry and the romance of a cool night in the mountains, these moonlit hikes led them through the lush hills of Northern California. Huddled on the dark hillsides, sharing their favorite poems, stories and tasty snacks, they needed something to warm their gullet and their soul. Wine was passed around, as was lively conversation. And as their literary tastes expanded, so too did their palates.

Tasting Note

This wine is a bit more dark and brooding. It shows more smoke and spice on the nose, some good tannins and a deep ruby color, leaning towar... (more...)ds crimson. The palate unfolds with lush sweet cherry and blackberries, spice, floral notes and a hint of cola. The La Encantada has great structure and will be a great wine for sharing with friends and for tucking away in the cellar.

You wouldn't ever mistake this pinot for a Burdundy. Starting with the nose, you can tell big fruit is coming your way. I taste blackberry, and get a lingering finish.

Zaozers this smells good. Rich aromas of red and black cherry complimented by vanilla. Full cherry flavor and oak treatment lead to a long finish. Yum.

Looks and smells like a quintessentially CA Central Coast Pinot. Rhubarb on the nose; hearty without being cloyingly jammy on the mid-palate. Not as hot on the finish as most (a good thing!).
