Sipping Fine Wine

August Sebastiani & brother-in-law, Kendrick Coakley, craft small-lot wines, so one can enjoy the truest representation of each appellation & how its terroir impacts specific varietals. Came across this rarity & grabbed a bottle. Had both ‘13 & ‘14. Aromas of ripe berry fruits & exotic spice. On the palate cherry & blueberry flavors, sweet cinnamon tea spice with an edge of tobacco. Smooth tannins, lingering ending with toasty oaky notes. Great value! Nice! Small production. ‘13 is better than ‘14.

Slight funk and earth on the nose with a touch of tobacco and smoke, plums and dark cherries for fruit, round mid-palate, slightly hot, but decent and drinkable.

Nice example of Carneros Pinot, pretty smokey and seems like it was a hot/quick ferment

Very funky nose, flavors of tobacco and dark fruit. Velvety tannins give it a nice finish.

Paired with a smokey sweet pork loin is the way to go. Great mouthfeel.

Funky earth, foggy, swampy but somehow enjoyable. Not worth the price
