Tasting notes
Vibrant ruby in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Monticue Vineyard is deeply scented of cranberries, black cherries, bergamot and forest floor, opening to alluringly broody pipe tobacco and mushroom with time in the glass. The palate is flush with spiced, dark fruits supported by silty tannins, and it finishes with ethereal lift and very pretty layering.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Monticue Vineyard is fabulous. Rich and explosive, the 2018 is flat-out stunning. Ripe red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and rose petals all race out of the glass. Unlike some of the other wines in the range, the Monticue has fabulous mid-palate sweetness and striking texture. It is a classic Sonoma Coast Pinot that achieves notable textural richness at moderate alcohols. The 90% whole clusters are impeccably balanced.
