2016 Soliste Renaissance Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.1% alc., 45 cases. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. As oxygen works its magic, the nose explodes with delightful aromas of black cherry, rose petal and barbecue rub. A very sophisticated wine with enviable harmony, offering middleweight flavors of dark stone and berry fruits. There is but a whisper of supportive oak, felty tannins, and an extremely persistent finish that lingers to the next sip. Even more extravagant when tasted from a previously opened bottle later in the day and the following day. Score: 96. Reviewed August 1, 2021
