2015 LaRue Thorn Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

12.9% alc., 100 cases, $70. Released March 2018. 100% de-stemmed. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Both red cherry and red berry fruit aromas along with earthy flora and mushroom aromas combine beautifully on the inviting nose. Comforting in the mouth, with good harmony, in a mid weight style featuring dark red fruit and savory herb flavors. The very long finish is notable for its generosity and refreshing cut. Score: 93.
