Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard has a pale garnet color and delicate aromas of saline, powdered sugar, tea leaves and dried strawberries and raspberries with an undercurrent of dusty earth. The light-bodied palate is surprisingly concentrated and maintains a core of sweet berry fruits with loads of perfume, gently grainy and fresh with a long, uplifted and nuanced finish.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard opens with a rush of exotic aromatics. Orange peel, star anise, cinnamon, mint and dried flowers soar out of the glass. The 50-60% whole clusters add intense aromatics. The 2013 is heavily reduced, but it starts to find its focus with time in the glass. Ross Cobb gave the 2013 30 months in barrel, which is quite long for Pinot. Readers should expect a wild, eccentric wine that is a sort of roller coaster. There is certainly no shortage of intrigue or personality. If opened young, the 2013 needs quite a bit of oxygen. The 2013 is a blend of fruit from the 1906 and Old First blocks.
