2015 Furthermore Gioia Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., 106 cases, $55. This vineyard is nestled in the redwoods in Occidental about 7 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Replanting took place in 1998. The steep, rocky terrain makes this vineyard a labor of love to farm. Clones are 33% 113 and 67% Pommard. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with scents of ripe cherry, strawberry and floral goodness. Mouth filling mid weight flavors of spiced black cherry and fruit punch. Excellent harmony and purity of fruit with a healthy tannic backbone and plenty of finishing purpose. Score: 92. Reviewed March 23, 2019
