2014 Bohème Tenth Anniversary Taylor Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., 308 cases, $55. Vineyard is located on a bluff 5.3 miles from the Pacific Ocean so it is exposed to cool maritime air and fog. Soils are sandy loam. Swan selection. Yield 1.69 tons per acre. Tailored cold soak, hand punch downs, aged 22 months in seasoned French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Revealing scents of coddled black cherry, bark and rose petal. The middleweight core of well-spiced black cherry alerts the taste buds and the uplifting, juicy and prolonged finish bring refreshing closure. A real cherry bomb with a satiny texture and a deft compliment of oak. Score: 93. Reviewed May 7, 2017
