2016 Tongue Dancer Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.7% alc., pH 3.63, TA 0.59, RS 1.2 g/L, 223 cases, $49, white wax cap. Released March 8, 2018. A blend of three Sonoma Coast AVA vineyards. Clones 115, 667, 777 and a suitcase clone.100% de-stemmed, 5-day cold soak, aged 16 months French oak barrels, 30% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Exuberant and seductive nose offering aromas of black cherry and spice. The gorgeous charge of Bing cherry, black raspberry and spice flavors really hit home on the mid palate and cling through a generous finish. Sleek in texture with a subtle complement of toasty oak and nicely integrated tannins. A real charmer that is both harmonious and on pitch. You won’t be able to take your eyes off the glass. Score: 95. Reviewed June 9, 2018
