Schrader Cellars
Boars' View The Coast Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Deep Ruby color, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral, herb and complex spice, aged 12 months in 50% new French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum and strawberry with pepper, tea, herbs, licorice and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, long finish, ending with earthy spice, fruit, tobacco and mineral tones. Very Nice!

WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!
Fantastic stuff and drinking superbly. This has all the check marks for textbook Cali Pinot. The red and black fruits lean toward the overripe side which adds some richness. A very woodsy/cedar note on the mid palate, with a cherry liqueur like finish. Thanks for bringing, @Joe Lucca .

4th Friday of the month means Classic Wine Storage happy hour! Great wines, as always, today!
My first Boar’s View Pinot. Maybe because it was enjoyed next to a RM Kanzler Pinot, but this wasn’t as large and cab like as I expected. Fruit was restrained, and it seemed coy. I got a lot of earthy and cedar/kirsch notes, with strawberry and rhubarb showing up at the end. Decant or hold.

This is my fourth bottle of the '12 Boar's View and it is finally (!) rounding out and becoming a worthy TRB wine. No longer just a juicy fruit bomb that overpowers. It was very full bodied and lush with notes of cola, black cherry and underbrush. Opening well now and it will get better for years. I'd say this is a 15 year PN.

Aug 27th, 2017Pre party for Rolling Stones in SD. Very primary now but not hot. Just a lot of fruit and not as much round edges. Bigger style Pinot but really does it well. I'd hold or decant right now. Should develop superbly.

Three year vertical tasting - 2011, 2012, 2013 - Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Unbelievable development between 4th and 6th leaf. Planted to heritage clones, all three display lush red fruit. The 2013 shines with great density, black and red fruit, beautiful clarity - a wine that will only get better with time. Not yet released.
