Pinot Noir, Nobles Vineyard, Fort Ross-Seaview, Sonoma Coast

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
91 points
“… precision and depth … while quite rich, it never threatens to be too much of a good thing. It is not an especially big wine, yet it is one with fruity richness to spare and, even though very young, it is so well-balanced and polished...”

The Wine Advocate

"...pronounced black cherry, red plum and black raspberry-scented nose with supporting notes of aniseed, charcoal and violets. Medium to full-bodied...it has black and red fruit layers framed by very fine-grained tannins, finishing long and spicy."

Tasting Notes
“The 2015 Nobles Vineyard Pinot Noir starts off with intense, fruity aromatics that include ripe strawberry and blackberry, with hints of milk chocolate and white pepper. The broad palate offers seamless acidity which drives flavors of tart cherry, rhubarb and cranberry, layered with a delicate barrel spice. The chewy tannins complete the experience, prolonging the enjoyment within the mouth.” – Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
