NoseIntoxicating aromas of plum, black raspberry, dark rose petal and peat. More black cherry and blackberry sap in this harmonious, mid-weight wine exhibiting an intense, ridiculously long finish. mushroomraspberryred-cherryvanilla
FlavorRose-petal-potpourri aromas lead to a palate of baked plum, dried currant and white pepper in this vineyard-designate from the coast. Racy acidity boosts the balanced richness and concentration, finishing in toasted oak and black tea.
Score: 94Vintage 2021Jeb DunnuckThe 2021 Pinot Noir English Hill is from the not-yet-official Sebastopol Hills AVA, nestled within the Sonoma Coast. The wine displays a youthful medium magenta color and is more lush on the nose, with aromas of wild ripe blue and red berries, fennel, wild spices, and fresh violets. It has broader shoulders, with a weightless but expansive feel, ripe tannins, and a long finish. In the cellar, it was raised in about 20% new Burgundy barrels, with slightly more stems and about 30% whole clusters in fermentation. Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastSavory and woodsy on the nose, this wine shows aromas of dried cherry, forest floor, plum skin and black tea. The palate comes across with black cherry, shiitake and dried cocoa-powder flavors in a framework of grippy tannin. A few years in the cellar should soften the edges nicely.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2021Wine SpectatorA textbook '21 Sonoma Coast Pinot, this offers a focused and racy beam of blood orange and raspberry coulis notes flecked with a mouthwatering savory accent. Red tea and incense details underscore the finish.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
