2016 Land of Promise Terra de Promissio Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $75 · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Intoxicating aromas of spiced black cherry, ripe strawberry, cardamom spice and toasty oak. Plenty of nuance on the palate with mid-weight plus flavors of black cherry, dark raspberry, blackberry, spice, and truffle. The rich fruit sap that saturates the mid-palate and elevates the finish in length, veers to the very ripe side. There is noticeable barrel infusion which may appeal depending on one’s preference. Score: 93. Reviewed August 1, 2021
