2006 Radio-Coteau La Neblina Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 14.4% alc., 1,592 cases. Unfined and unfiltered. · The appealing perfume of dark red cherries, currants and raspberries is accented with red candies and vanillin. Luscious core of black cherry fruit with a twist of citrus on the lip-smacking finish. The fruit has impressive zip and zing but is somewhat overwhelmed by the tannins. That said, hard to say no to. Very good. Reviewed January 27, 2011 WINERY » ARTICLE »

Unfined and unfiltered. · Savory aromatics featuring underbrush, green tobacco, leather hide and dried cherries.

2004 Radio-Coteau La Neblina Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 14.4% alc., 760 cases, $40. This wine is named for the fog (“La Neblina” is Spanish for fog) that is ever present in the cool vineyards of the western Sonoma Coast. A blend of grapes sourced from two vineyards along the Sonoma Coast (growers Kirk Lokka and Bill Smith), the clones are Dijon 115 and 777. · I love the aromatics featuring perfectly ripe Pinot fruits. There is a panoply of wonderful flavors including black cherry, cassis, mushrooms, spice, smoke and earth. This is the most structured of the three wines, yet light as a feather. A warm fuzzy mouth feel leads to a finish that is long and pure. Reviewed November 27, 2006 WINERY » ARTICLE »
