Tasting notes
Pale ruby, the nose of the 2016 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard Old Firs Block offers savory cranberry sauce, cracked peppercorn, tar and violets with more detail emerging over time. The light-bodied palate delivers concentrated but perfumed, detailed fruits, gently grainy and fresh and finishing long and lifted. What a lovely dynamic of powerful fruit and understated structure.

Spice box, pine forest, camphor, rose petals, and sweet red and black fruits all emerge from the 2016 Pinot Noir Coastlands Old Firs Block and it's another medium-bodied, fresh, Burgundian style effort that shines for its complexity and elegance. It has plenty of acidity, yet its nicely integrated into the wine and everything is in the right places here. Give it a few years.
The 2016 Coastlands Vineyard Old First Block is marked by a lovely sense of creaminess that is quite unique in this range. There is plenty of the aromatic intensity that marks all of these wines, the but the Old Firs has a feeling of integration and balance that sets it apart. All the elements meld together effortlessly. Blood orange, raspberry and chalk add shades of nuance in a deep, ample Pinot Noir endowed with tremendous class and personality. The Old Firs is a mix of Martini and Wädenswil clones.
