2016 Sangiacomo Roberts Road Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.54, TA 0.59, 64 cases, $70. Released May 2018. 100% de-stemmed, 5-day cold soak, hand punch downs, aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 33% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Aromas of black cherry reduction and toasty oak lead off. Discreetly concentrated in a mid weight style, featuring flavors of purple berry, blackberry, pomegranate and spice flavors. Very suave on the palate with cashmere tannins and some finishing purpose. There is some alcohol warmth on the finish. A bit of oak characters persist even when tasted the follow day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 91. Reviewed July 21, 2018
