2017 Fallon Place Black Family Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., 100 cases, $46. Release October 2019.Sourced from a 30- acre vineyard. Clone 777 from two blocks. 100% de-stemmed, aged 11 months in French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Invigorating aromas of dark red berry, spice and underbrush. More concentration and fruit presence than the Estines Vineyard bottling, offering flavors of dark red and purple berries underlain with a hint of earthiness. The texture is dreamy and the wine is impeccably balanced. Equally redeeming when sampled the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 93. Reviewed July 20, 2019
