Big Basin Vineyards
Coastview Vineyard Pinot Noir
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
Ruby red color with exuberant red fruit, exotic spice, rose hips and cola aromas. On the palate it's very fresh and well balanced with velvety well integrated tannins with cherry cola, raspberry, spice flavors with a very appealing minerality, and a long finish. Opened up very nicely over the course of a exceptional meal at Spruce SF. Perfect paired with Liberty duck! 2010 Vintage #enofylzwineblog

I wish ALL everyday wines could be like this! Purity, texture, structure, length... And sexiness. Yeah, that too.

Dec 14th, 2015Pure and unusually rich for this site, yet remains beautifully balanced with silky tannins, yet grippy enough to age nicely. Expansive mid palate with milk chocolatey texture, long finish.

Bill Bradley straight killing it! Blueberry cedar, cherry compote (Rainer) with a aged light red Rainer cherry acidity it's pure loveliness! It stands up against lightly seasoned sous vide ribeye. Silky but your pursuit of the subtleties will give way to nice tannic grip, but it shows some velvet. Melts the fat and sticks around to shake your hand after.

N: lots of rhubarb and faint cinnamon, some bark, woodland, some strawberries.
P: Reddish/Brown on the palate, very….cedar. Nice acidity, but very gentle. Almost funky, you want some more funk, but nooo. Red fruits down the middle, lovely mouthfeel. @ wtso bargain. You feel good about it, but it’s not gonna rock your world.
Addendum: 2nd day, kept refrigerated w rubber stopper, definite tannic development and palate interest.
I bet w much air time, these might just deliver above their price pt.
