Second stop in Sonoma with Andrew Berge of Spell Estate, La Pitchoune and Tiny House to name a few. First single vineyard Pinot Noir is the Terra de Promissio from the Petaluma Gap of the Sonoma Coast AVA. It is aged in 50% new French oak and only 49 cases produced.
Lush medium ruby red with a light purplish hue. Quite floral on the nose with some white pepper and strawberries. Medium acidity (6.5/10) with good tannins and a medium plus body. A bit of tobacco on the palate with some dark raspberries and gravel. Dry and medium plus finish. Drink till 2026. $$

May 28th, 2018Second single vineyard Pinot Noir from Spell Estate is the Terra de Promissio Vineyard. Crimson red with garnet edges. Love the differences that distinguishes the different single vineyard bottlings. Lots of clay, wood, tea leaves, dried lavender and mesquite smoked wood. Some added maple bacon notes on day two. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and moderate acidity (6/10). Palate started off a little smokey and with red cherries on day one. Day two added in some more complexity with some light greenery some cherry cola and gamey notes. Fullest of the four Pinot Noirs with a moderate plus body. A little bit of heat and long finish. Drink till 2025. 91+
