Sonoma County Pinot Noir

Light, smooth, jammy.... soft vanilla, spearmint, and strawberry notes. I’d drink this again.

Nice Pinot - enjoying at a holiday party, and this is a great addition to the festivities!

From The Wine Society: This vibrant California pinot's redcurrant and cranberry perfume carries on to a fine structured palate. A bright, refreshing and versatile red to partner anything from mushrooms and roots to meaty roasts.

The nose shows pomegranate, raspberries, cherries, lilac, a tiny touch of chocolate and leather too. This is very inviting. The palate is very well made, there is a good, strong acid backbone, some nice matter on the sides and a bright red fruit touch that gives it a sweeter, rounder twist that what old world pinots would show. Some tannins kick in in the rear before a long, fresh finish with cherry and raspberries notes that last for a while. It's a bigger style than what I'm used too, a bit richer and rounder but this is a great expression of pinot and I can't wait to discover it further!

Lots of strawberry, did I say “lots of strawberry”?? Had this in a thick glass cup and simply said “meh”. But then had in my standard wine glass and picked this rating from a sub 8 to closer to 9. A wine that would do fine at a restaurant for a standard meal but would look for further if you want more depth.

Smooth and delicious. 2019 at $11.40,

Not bad for a sub $15 bottle of wine.

After many Cabs and Zins from Cline Cellars, this is the first Pinot Noir we’ve tried. Nice and smooth, just like the rest of their wines.

Nice smooth fuller body than many pinots. Nice before dinner!
