Wine Review: This stunning Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast is a brilliant medium ruby color with aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, wood spice, and cocoa with a hint tobacco leaf. On the palate, it is medium-plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is refined, bright, well-balanced, plush, and seamless. I found flavors of red raspberry, black plum, green tea, and crushed stone along with hints of clove, cranberry, and cola. Very fine tannins linger for quite a while in the dry finish. Serve alongside tender lamb chops with rosemary and garlic. - Mark
