Very cloudy ruby red; Very fruity, cherry cough syrup, wild cherry candy, very spicy cherry--too much IMO, a little sweet/over ripe as well. CA PN EWG at Otono.

Cloudy and dark plum-colored, full-bodied, and loads of primary fruit! Hard to believe this is the basic 2010 Sonoma Coast bottling, as it still seems young. Bottle opened on Monday; remainder recorked and put in fridge; two days later, the wine is better still, as the fruit is delicious, with a sweeter tinge, and the acidity calmed down a bit.

Imagine the luck and foresight of the person who bought 2-3 cases of this 2010 RM pinot when it was released, at the release price! This is my 6th or 7th bottle of the basic Sonoma Coast bottling in the last couple of years and every bottle has been a pleasure: some minor variation, with a couple being a touch thinner fruitwise and one being meatier/darker fruit than the others. This one is among the best though- dark plum color, with plum and cherry flavors, and a hint of sweet fruit that tones down the acidity a bit.

Delicious! Little bit of sediment. Balanced.
