Wine Review: This bright red colored Pinot Noir opens with a fragrant stewed plum, cranberry and black raspberry bouquet with a hint of clove. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a spiced black plum with notes of clove, oak and some earthy minerality. I also detected hints of strawberry licorice, blood orange and cinnamon in the background. The finish is dry and its flavors linger nicely. This flavorful Pinot Noir benefits from a little aeration, so open it in advance and pair it with a roasted pork loin with sage, rosemary, and garlic. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir brings together eight unique lots from sites that comprise several of our single- vineyard designate bottlings. Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek, Walala and Gap’s Crown Vineyards are the key components, creating a polished blend that offers robust flavors and exceptional texture. The 2018 vintage offers balance and depth, with multiple layers of dark cherry, nutmeg and earth, leading to a long finish. It is drinking exceptionally well now with a fresh, complex bouquet that draws you into the glass.
