Sonoma County Pinot Noir

Bing cherry. Bing cherry. Bing cherry. All day. Plus dried herbs on the palate. A BIG Pinot. 14.7% ABV.

I notice a bright ruby red color and complex red fruit aromas with sweet spice. The palate shows full ripe cherries, red raspberries and red plums with generous hit of spices, pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish develops some toasty notes, minerality and round tannins, well balanced with a smooth ending. I tried their 2011 Sonoma Coast last year and the 2012 got better, if you can believe that! A good value Pinot as retail is around $30, rivals some $50 bottles.

A strong, deep nose of dark fruit and vegetables. On the palate-- its concentrated and earthy. A little pepper spice. And little vanilla. Always consistent but 2012 is nice.

Started soft with nice rich red fruit but surprisingly turned tannic quickly. Let it breath a bit more and it turned smooth

I like it. Not candied, a little too heavy for a pinot. Short, but would be a good
standby.

Very fruity but a little more structure would have made it better. Strawberry/red cherry.

Nice fruit. A tad heavy on the oak for me. Very drinkable.

Very impressed with this gift. Want to find it for another great dinner. Paired with salmon nicely.

Full body,pairs well with spicy lemon grass chicken.

Smooth Pinot Noir, delicious cherry fruit flavor, not very dry nor sweet, light/medium bodied. Not very complex in texture or with many notes of flavor. Great to be able to enjoy alone at any time.
