2013 Pali “Riviera” Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 4,479 cases, $22, screwcap. Sourced from Collins Ranch, Arrowhead and Champlain Creek vineyards. Aged 18 months in barrel, 30% new French oak. · Moderate reddish purple hue in the glass. The nose is quite earthy, offering clay-kissed aromas of blackberry jam and mushroom. On the palate, there is an assemblage of chunky dark fruits and added accents of black tea and anise. Very ripe fruited and robust, with structured tannins, modest vibrancy and a dry finish. Nothing speaks of Sonoma Coast character in this fruit-driven wine. Score: 87.

2012 Pali Wine Co. “Riviera” Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 8,005 cases, $21, screwcap. Sourced from Collins Ranch, Arrowhead, and Champlain Creek vineyards. Vinified and blended to have consistency from year to year. Aged 10 months in 25% new French oak. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Rather bold and dense with a meaty core of black raspberry, pomegranate and black currant fruit accented with earth-kissed herbs. Fruit-driven and proud of it, this wine still has enough verve for pleasant drinking. Bigger, bolder and riper than the 2011 version, but in the same vein. Score: 89.
