2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., pH 3.60, TA .57, 300 cases, $48. Released November 18, 2019. Sourced from Giusti Ranch and Gunsalus Vineyard. Clones 115, 667 and 777. Aged 14 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, ripe strawberry and oak lead to a light to mid-weight styled wine with flavors of black cherry cola and black raspberry. Somewhat elegant with good balance but lacking a bit of mid-palate generosity. The bright, quenching finish is very satisfying. Score: 90. Reviewed November 14, 2021
