The 2011 Marine Layer Vineyard Pinot Noir brings a more rustic character to Banshee's lineup with aromas of damp earth, fresh mushroom, spices, licorice and roasted herbs wrapped in beautiful dark cherry and raspberry fruit. This has a wonderful roundness and a gorgeous velvet texture that caresses your palate as it finishes up soft and silky. The Banshee Marine Layer was aged for 15 months in 20% new French Oak barrels and blended from four different vineyard sources. (Best 2013-2021) (Best 2013-2021) - July, 2013 (JD)
