Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has gentle scents of rhubarb and strawberry with notes of charcuterie and amaro. It's light-bodied with restrained but bright, spicy fruits, silky and fresh with an uplifted finish. 1,938 cases produced.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast comes from a mix of vineyards and was 75% destemmed and spent year in 40% new French oak. It has a beautiful bouquet of ripe red (and some black) raspberries as well as complex bay leaf, bouquet garni, allspice, and hints of violets. This carries to a medium-bodied 2018 in the supple, elegant style of the vintage, with nicely integrated acidity, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's just a complex, complete, and satisfying Pinot Noir from this estate that will evolve for a solid 8-10 years.
