  This is a young Pinot Noir from Sonoma County. Spicy and tangy with a beautiful color.
  
  Light to medium in body with medium acidity.
  
  Showing bing cherries, red currants, raspberries, oak, light vanilla, spices, light chocolates and black pepper.
  
  This Single Vineyard is good right out of the bottle and better with some air time. After 30 minutes, soft tannins show up and bring more structure to the game.
  
  I had it before and this time I gave it a light chill and it paired beautifully with the brie cheese with wild mushrooms.
  
  A very small production of only 5 barrels.
  
  14.2% alcohol by volume.
  
  89 points.
  
  $42.

  Reddish in color with medium intensity.
  
  Fruity nose with cherries, ripe strawberries, raspberries, light oak, vegetables, earth and spices.
  
  Medium-bodied with medium acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, bing cherries, oak, wild flowers, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.
  
  Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
  
  This young Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast is drinking nicely already. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Light and approachable.
  
  This Single Vineyard is showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
  
  After after an hour of airtime, it gets earthier, with some bitter herb notes. Would be nice to revisit it in 2 years.
  
  Good right out of the bottle and good with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
