Tasting notes
The first production for Cobb from this site, the 2019 Pinot Noir Kiser Vineyard is a touch darker fruited, with some medicinal herbs and woodsy spice. The structure is soft up front before its structured grip and acid take the lead. Drink over the next 15 years.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Kiser Vineyard was made with about 40% whole clusters. It has a medium ruby color and ferrous aromas of iron, forest floor, lilac and blood orange accenting a deep core of pomegranate and rhubarb. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and fresh, with botanical, iron-laced fruits and a very long, layered finish. It's shy and a touch less harmonious than the other 2019s from Cobb at this stage, so allow it another 2-3 years in bottle to unfold.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Kiser Vineyard is one of the highlights in this set of new releases from Ross Cobb. Pliant and deep in the glass, with terrific texture and fine balance, the Kiser is superb. Black cherry, lavender, menthol, licorice, pine and blood orange all run through this super-expressive, nuanced Pinot Noir. There's real depth and power here.
