The 2012 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is an outstanding effort that offers up plenty of sweet red and black fruit, tobacco leaf and spice to go with a medium-bodied, nicely put together feel on the palate. Showing more savory pepper and herbal notes with air, I like it as much as a number of the single-vineyard efforts. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years.

Gobs of rich, juicy blackberry and red berry fruit are front and center, shaded by creamy oak and deceptively firm tannins. Offers immediate appeal, with room for cellaring. Drink now through 2020. 2,212 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Sonoma / Sonoma Coast Select to Add
