Darker red and black cherry and berry aromas are featured with hints of

2008 COBB Jack Hill Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
13.5% alc.,
240 cases, $68. From a 2-acre hillside vineyard near Occidental a few miles from Coastlands and Emmaline Ann vineyards. Dijon
clones 115, 667 and 828 planted in Goldridge sandy loam. Hand-tended by the couple living on the property. Aged 17 months in 35% new French oak.
·
Demure aromas of cherry and
berry fruits nicely spiced and accented by underbrush. Absolutely
delicious melange of fresh cherries and berries with complimentary hints
of spice, oak and minerality. Juicy, with impressive persistence on the
finish. A lighter bodied wine with gossamer tannins that has a very
appealing and seductive gentleness. An All-American.
