Ruby red color with exuberant red fruit, exotic spice, rose hips and cola aromas. On the palate it's very fresh and well balanced with velvety well integrated tannins with cherry cola, raspberry, spice flavors with a very appealing minerality, and a long finish. Opened up very nicely over the course of a exceptional meal at Spruce SF. Perfect paired with Liberty duck! 2010 Vintage #enofylzwineblog — 9 years ago

The 2016 Pinot Noir Monterey County is a gorgeous appellation-level wine, not to mention just flat out delicious. A wine of impeccable balance and total class, the 2016 is impossible to resist. A high percentage (85%) of whole clusters adds layers of aromatic nuance without pushing the wine into realm of greenness. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, mint, crushed flowers and mint are some of the many nuances that develop in the glass. Fruit sources are Coastview and Kevin Olson. The Monterey County is bottled after about eleven months in barrel, earlier than the vineyard designates. There is so much personality and character here. In short, don't miss it!
