2016 Eric Kent Sascha Maria Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.7% alc., pH 3.60, TA 0.63, 247 cases, $52. Art by Valerie Savarie. This bottling is named after Kent’s daughter and is sourced from Sangiacomo Roberts Road Vineyard (95%) and Grand Vent Vineyard (5%). Primary clones are 777 and Swan with a small amount of Pommard and 667. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Rapturous nose offering scents of black cherry, black raspberry and exotic spices. Vivid, fresh purple and black fruit flavors filled out with a compliment of oak. The burliest and fruitiest wine of the three tasted here, but not jammy. Excellent harmony with pleasing length on the finish. Score: 93. Reviewed December 11, 2018
