In a micro world where Sonoma Coast Pinot can be anything from overripe candy to verging on watery, Royal St. Robert kind of nails it. Carlo has put together a bulls-eye blend of earth and fruit, herbs, and texture. It shows restraint but it isn't diluted.
The nose has all sorts of fresh red berries tossed in a basket with foraged dirty wild mushrooms and minty herbs. There is body. Plenty of acid too. Flavors of raspberry, rosemary, mint, leather, and cinnamon. Whole cluster, plush, with a little bit of stemmy pushback.
Of the many faces of Cali Pinot, this one one of my favorites. — 2 years ago
