2016 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Single Vineyard

The 2016 Pinot Noir comes from the Reuling Vineyard on Sonoma Coast, from Calera, DRC and La Tache clones. Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, it comes charging out of the glass with a compelling perfume of warm cranberries, kirsch and black cherries with nuances of violets, lavender and rose hip tea with hints of Sichuan pepper and Provence herbs. The medium to fullbodied palate has a firm, grainy texture and great freshness, with loads of red and black fruit layers, finishing very long and earthy. 150 cases produced.
