2014 Soliste L’Espérance Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., 147 cases, $85. 115 Monoclone®. 0% whole cluster. Aged 18 months in Rousseau French oak barrels, 33% new. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Alluring scent of pie cherry, raspberry, blueberry-pomegranate and spice. Discreetly concentrated core of black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors along with notes of tar, exotic spice and earthiness. Exquisitely balanced with a silk and satin texture, integrated mildly firm tannins and adept oak treatment. The fruit really sings on the finish. Score: 93. Reviewed November 17, 2018
