An anomaly, the '12 Herman Story Pinot Noir 'Smash City' is one over-the-top Pinot that will stare down a spice-rubbed chargrilled steak without blinking. A 15.4% monster that throws gobs blueberry aromas and sweet fruit flavors. This 71 case effort by Russell P. From from the Murmur Vyd. in Santa Maria Valley will never be mistaken for a Burgundy. I'm so glad we flew to the Central Coast just to sample.
