2010 Bailiwick Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., pH 3.76, TA 0.64, 270 cases, $36. Sourced from the
Ross Ranch Vineyard, located in the hills southwest of Sebastopol. Goldridge sandy loam soil. Clones 115
and Pommard. Aged in 50% new French oak barrels.
·
Light reddish-purple hue in the glass. Vibrant aromas of
fresh red fruits, especially cherry glaze, with notes of spice, sandalwood and toasty oak. Explodes on the
palate with melt in your mouth, perfectly ripe cherries accented by dark chocolate and spice. Very smoothly
textured with gossamer tannins and noticeable persistence on the fruit-filled finish. Shows the most oak
influence of all the Bailiwick wines this vintage, but it is not intrusive. Very good (+).
