Wow, a warm climate Pinot... I thought Sonoma Coast was supposed to be Cool. This wine screamed alcohol, and delivered. While it is clean and intensively made, we were hard pressed to decide if we should be drinking alone or with food... Well it did not go well with pasta and sauce or minestrone soup. What are we missing with this wine? Not refreshing.

2014 vintage. Improved with age. Nice nose. Spice and chocolate flavors with a cherry finish.

Warm weather and big fruit leads to high alcohol and less nuance. Not a huge fan. Need to open something better for Uncle Allan next time!

Red fruit is predominant. Finish is smooth with some hint of vanilla

Gorgeous nose! Smoky. Soft, very light tannins, beautiful long peach pomegranate finish.
