2011 Soliste Nouveau Monde Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

12.9% alc., 79 cases, $75. MonoClone® Pommard from Keller Estate. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Wonderful perfume of red berries, red cherries, baking spice and sandalwood. In the mouth, this wine makes you sit up and take notice. Delicious mix of fresh, vibrant wild cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits with a touch of exotic spice in the background. Seamless and caressing with supple tannins. Lighter in weight but highly flavorful with a very long and charming spiced-cherry finish. Currently in a state of near perfection. Score: 96.
