Tasting notes
Ripe aromas are comprised by notes of plum, dark berries and a range of spice elements. The very supple and acceptably dense flavors possess a suave mid-palate texture that contrasts markedly with the youthfully austere, bold and robust finish that flashes excellent length and focused power. Patience strongly advised.

Aromas of spiced cherry, plum and fresh mint. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. An interesting, well-balanced mix of fresh red and black fruit and savory spice. Good concentration. Drink or hold.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, medium ruby in color, has a nose of red and black cherries, with touches of dusty earth, charcuterie and tar. Medium-bodied, the palate is silky and full of luscious, spice-laced red berry fruits, finishing long with a touch of floral perfume. (EB)
A slightly more deeply pitched nose is compositionally similar though the plum and dark berry nuances are more prominent. There is again very good verve and detail to the equally attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a robust, muscular and grippy finish though in this case, they don't really affect the persistence. *Outstanding*
