Cobb 2019 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard Sonoma Coast 98 Points

Robert Parker 98 Points: “Made with 60% whole clusters, the 2019 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard has a medium ruby color and pure, continually shifting aromas of raspberry preserves, blood orange, sage, Earl Grey tea leaves, and forest floor. The palate offers an abundance of silty tannins and surprising intensity of sweet berry fruit for its weight. It offers fine floral accents and finishes with fantastic length and nuance of flavor.”

Winery Notes: “Coastlands Vineyard is our estate property, first planted in 1989.  These now-old vines are producing tremendous wines without the benefit of irrigation or fertilizer.  This is one of the most westerly planted Pinot Noir sites in Sonoma County.  Originally established by David and Diane Cobb, Ross Cobb now farms the estate where he lives with his wife and daughter.  This wine is a blend of fruit from across the estate and is a perfect representation of the coastal terroir that is so rare to find in California. Only 227 cases were produced”
