Somewhat restrained compared to our 2014 Sonoma Coast Pinot, this is still on the riper side with good complexity. Cool-climate flavors of dried cherry, wild raspberry, mineral, saline show through a clean finish. As usual, it is about fruit and not oak. The texture is smooth with well integrated tannins. With aeration, it opens up to reveal kirsch, forest floor and mushroom notes as well. Overall, it's exquisitely balanced, yummy pinot noir that is so easy to like. Pairings: It would pair very well with cool weather soups and stews. It can surely last 5 years easily but why wait when it shows so well now.
