2014 Kesner Halfmile Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., $60. Release spring 2016. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Complex aromatic profile, featuring scents of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, purple grape, spice cake and earthy flora. Heavily endowed with oak flavor at present, becoming less evident over time in the glass. The mid weight core of darker stone and berry fruits pick up weight and presence over time. Modest tannins, lively acidity and a welcome finish. This wine is not yet ready for prime time, explaining the future release. Score: 88-90. Reviewed November 22, 2015
