Sonoma County Pinot Noir
Sonoma County, California, USA
First CA PN in some time for me. Balanced and fruit forward with surprising complexity for the price point. Light minimal smoke and coppery nose. Dark purple/red core. Sharp cherries super forward followed by a nice mix of light spice and cinnamon. Really digging the finish with cola and a neat lingering dark bite. This surprised me. Profiles as a DH OR PN (yup! I wrote that that way) for me but it did soften as others wrote. Med plus body and sky high acidity. I got an amazing price on this so I have a few. Nice drinking while I hopefully wait for my prizes to age. Good for me (and my wife).

Surprisingly good at the price point. Light with red fruits. Slightly lingers in the palate. Easy to drink and very pleasant. Would definitely buy again.
