WSET Diploma blinds Practice 2 (SF): (blind) Medium minus ruby color. Medium intensity aromas of red fruit. Reductive, expressive red fruit - maybe slight whole cluster confected notes. Sweaty-reductive cherry. Modest oak. On the palate, medium bodied, medium plus alcohol, medium acid, low tannins. New world Pinot, and with the oak and medium acid, probably CA or OR.
This seems pretty classic of Sonoma but not as big as RRV - maybe sonoma coast? Final call: 2014 Sonoma Coast Pinot.

Berry melange. Kind of nondescript. No flaws, but not much interest either. Weekday wine. $15. 85
