2021 Kutch Bohan Graveyard Block Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 100 cases, $54. Release July 11, 2023. A 1- acre block of Bohan Vineyard marked by a tombstone dating to 1875. Located 1,500 feet elevation 3.05 miles inland from the Pacific coastline. The vines are own-rooted, head-trained, and raised without irrigation. The soil in this block is distinctly rocky in a base of sandstone.100% de-stemmed and fermented with indigenous yeast. Aged in used French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. · Dark garnet color in the glass. A mysterious nose offering aromas of wine cave, animale, chalk, and a dark berry medley. The richly appointed dark fruit core is well-spiced and accented with a hint of herbs. Somewhat primal and intriguing with a healthy tannic backbone and quenching acidity on the finish. This wine totally captured my interest when sampled the following day from a previously opened bottle. Score: 95. Reviewed December 3, 2022
