2004 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

 

 

Winemaker's Notes

"Rich and dark in color, the nose of this wine exhibits aromas of wild berries, pomegranates, sandalwood, cardamom and toasted vanilla beans. The mouth is filled with flavors of raspberries, truffles, dried cranberries, roasted nuts, Asian spices and  mocha.  The Coastal acidity and concentrated tannins accentuate the ripe, wild berry flavors and lingers into the long finish."

Winemaker Bob Cabral

Awards and Reviews

2002 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
94 points
This pinot is hard to beat for pure, all-out sexiness.  It’s fully ripe, with deep red cherry flavors and a raspberry top note, rich without feeling ponderous, sweet yet still robust.  Youthful floral scents of jasmine and indigo pour out of the voluptuous textures, as crowded by tannins as it is by fruit.  It sets out to be a blockbuster, and it’s pretty great, especially with salmon in beurre rouge.

Medium-deep ruby purple color; some spice and pepper, stewed fruit aromas; deep, spicy, thick, lots of super concentrated black cherry and berry fruit, reduced and concentrated flavors; moderate toasty oak, good structure, long finish.  This non-vineyard designated Pinot has great concentrated, reduced flavors and just shouts Sonoma Coast.
