Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Medium Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, floral and sweet spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum, with dried fruit notes, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Good now, will still age a bit!

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of raspberries, strawberries, sweet cherries, light oak, chocolates and light spices.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, light wood, earth, bitter herbs, light vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.
Nice spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is an enjoyable Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.
Easy drinking and good for parties. Showing mild complexity with a nice smooth mouthfeel.
Spicy and entertaining. A good porch wine, too. Would be interesting to try it again in 3 years.
Shows light barnyard on the nose, that gets lighter after an hour of airtime. After 2 hours of airtime, it drinks more like a Beaujolais. Interesting stuff.
Good by itself or with food. Paired wonderfully with a fresh brick oven pizza with prosciutto, parmesan and arugula.
Aged in French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$36.

2016 MacRostie ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir ($34.00)- A seriously good value, the ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir by MacRostie screams class with its bright red fruit and cola with citrus rind aromatics that all impress. The palate is plush, delivering both a silky texture and a lithe mouthfeel. Plush and dense red fruits dance with blood orange and kumquat flavors with a kiss of cola. Delicious now, enjoy this over the next eight plus years. Drink 2019-2025- 93

Cherry, cranberry, rhubarb, raspberry, loamy earth, oak and hints of licorice. Good structure and soft tannins.

A pleasant sip on a chilly evening. Balanced, not too fruit forward and overall quite enjoyable.
