2014 Rodney Strong Estate Vineyards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.66, TA 0.55, $30. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is reserved initially, but opening over time in the glass, offering aromas and flavors of forestry cherry, dark red berry, spice and earthy flora. Silken in the mouth, with good lift, taught tannins, and a spirited finish featuring persistent cherry goodness. Score: 89. Reviewed February 13, 2017
