2013 Furthermore Nevina’s Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., pH 3.73, 150 cases, $60. Clone 777. Harvest Brix 24.2º. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 33% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Deep, penetrating aromas of darker cherries and darker red berries along with the scent of rose petal and woodlands. The palate seems whole cluster inspired with flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, plum and spice, with hints of vanilla and root beer. Impressive attack and mid palate presence with streamlined tannins and a juicy demeanor, finishing with pizzazz. Noticeably better the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 94. Reviewed June 5, 2015 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2011 Furthermore Nevina’s Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., 83 cases, $50. Furthermore’s first estate vineyard. Located in Occidental six miles from the coast planted in 2002 to clone 777 by Scott Zeller. The vineyard was formerly known as Willow Creek and was bottled as a vineyard designate by Rivers-Marie. · My first experience with this vineyard and WOW! Moderately dark reddish purple hue in the glass. Intoxicating aromas of freshly picked and crushed wild berries, spice, and ocean breeze. A little bit untamed, rugged and spirited, with delicious flavors of boysenberry, blackberry, molasses and dark chocolate and a firm tannic spine. The fruit has character and speaks of the earth and a sense of place. The experience is like throwing down fresh, juice berries while sitting on a ridge top overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Sonoma Coast. This is one sexy wine that really stands out among the excellent Furthermore Pinot Noirs in 2011. Score: 94. Reviewed November 19, 2014 WINERY » ARTICLE »
