CrossBarn Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
A good example of what Sonoma Coast PN should be. Restrained and not a big cherry cola bomb like so many PNs from this region tend to be. Still, a fuller body than the PN made to the north. A nice balance and a very nice price.

Medium Ruby, with aheady bouquet of violet, black cherry, black raspberry and plum. Very ripe but well-balanced, with firm acidity. Very much a New World Pinot, almost voluptuous in its texture.

For those that like a bolder Pinot Noir.
Stands up well to a dish with some heat.

Red berries on the nose. Medium bodied fruit forward palate. Good acidity. Nice finish.

Smoky, spicy, deep dark blue fruits, juicy but not sweet. Great acidity.

Excellent! Clean, a little oak and butter, but fresh acidity and balance.
