2018 Montagne Russe Dragon’s Back Black Knight Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.9% alc., 143 cases, $60. Aged on the lees in French oak, 40% new for 10 months. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Pleasing aromas of blueberry, blackberry and forest floor. A cheerful and uplifting wine offering discretely concentrated flavors of black cherry and dark red berry with an herbal thread and only a shadow of oak. Wellmannered tannins and balancing acidity. If you believe in minerality, this wine has it! Score: 92. Reviewed February 21, 2022
