2015 Bohème Taylor Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.7% alc., 105 cases, $55. Released November 1, 2018. A 4.9-acre vineyard planted in 1999, 5.3 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Swan clone. Goldridge sandy loam soil. Yield 0.65 tons per acre. 18% whole cluster. Aged 22 months in French oak barrels, 15% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Aromas of blackberry reduction, baking spices, floral bouquet and sweaty shirt combine in the glass. Dense and bold in a mid weight plus style featuring earthy black berry and black cherry fruits. A big boy wine with firm, ruddy tannins and a big, fruit-filled and lasting finish. Much more appealing when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle again showing a glorious finish. Score: 93. Reviewed March 23, 2019
