Almost Burgundian in expression, the 2012 Coquerel Terroir Pinot Noir offers aromas of crushed raspberries, dried cherries, allspice, caramelized brown sugar, earth and mushrooms. Bright acidity lends lift to a core that is sweetly outfitted in red fruit, with marked purity, low tannins, and acid that hits the sides of the tongue and pleasantly lingers. There is an echo of spice and game on the finish— it should pair beautifully with savory fall dishes, or game hens stuffed with wild rice and dried fruit. Sample

Coquerel sources these grapes from the Sonoma Coast and that show in the wine. Lean, good acidity. Good amount of fruit but nothing like a RRV Pinot. 13.5% Alcohol. I would drink it now, don’t think it’s getting any better. Great with food - completed the smoked turkey and avocado salad we had with it.
