Floral, ripe and featherlight nose. Grows and becomes quite immense during two hours of air. Beautiful nose. The palate also grows a bit during the same time period. From light and easy into huge, complex, elegant and seamless... This is stunning! A very nice effort and hinting at Chambolle and Vosne for inspiration.

Medium purple/garnet color. The nose is plummy with raspberry undertones but no secondary aromas. The palate is red-fruited with tart cranberry and raspberry as well as floral notes. There is ample acidity and moderate tannins in this medium-bodied wine. Overall, this is was a tart, vibrant wine that is not filled with plush, dark fruit I usually find in pinots made from that AVA.

Dark garnet center with a pink rim. Nose - cherry, raspberry, stems, celery, and spice notes Palate - cherry, raspberry, spice, and earth Structure - medium-bodied, good acidity, light tannins Finish - short, red-fruited finish Overall - with air, this wine darkened showing more Sonoma Coast dark cherry and cola. Very enjoyable.

This wine was very fresh and had notes of cherry cola. Some tertiary notes, but great balance. It paired nicely with salmon.
