2010 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 750 ml

2010 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 750 ml

2010 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 750ml

Power, elegance, strength and finesse are ample in this generous wine. Rich, pungent aromas leap from the glass, cherry-pit, tar, aniseed, herbs, earthy, cherry liquor, marmalade, citrus blossoms, violet, rose petals, combine in layer after layer of richness that keeps coming in waves. Elaborately flavored, this extraordinarily complex wine is a full-bodied wine that is stuffed with pastry-filling cherries, dried herbs, blackberries, currants and raspberries, with exotic additions of cola, red licorice and vanilla. This wine is easy to enjoy and will continue to please for many years.  The vineyard is located near 116 and Stoney Point Road on rich, loamy soil.  It is very influenced by the ebb and flow of the fog bank that creeps up the valley throughout the growing season.  The grower is the Pasta King and it's really a fun relationship!

This wine is lovely!  It is our second release from our grower, Art Ibleto - the Pasta King!  We love the quality that this vineyard produces - very fruity, bright cherry-candy!  The region is cooler than MOST of inland Sonoma County,  and slows down the maturation of the Pinot Noir into October, even when most Russian River Pinots are picked in September.  This additional hang time on the vine developes very refined tannins, flavors, aromas and mouthfeel and creates a pinot that will last for many years.  The Pinot Noirs that come from the Sonoma Coast are power houses and this wine will show you why!  Rich, dense, bright and fruity!
