The 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast should be a smoking value and would be a great introduction for readers looking to understand the style of the Pinot Noir here as well as the quality. Black cherries, redcurrants, smoked earth, and peppery herbs all make an appearance, and it's balanced, medium-bodied, and just impeccably put together. It will keep for 4-5 years, if not longer.

Broadly expansive with well-integrated tannin, this coastal appellation wine offers a wealth of dark fruit, black tea and earthiness. The oak is toasted and adds baking spice and a hint of richness, with fresh acidity brightening the palate throughout.
