Sonoma Coast Pinot with serious mineral spine and exotic spice complexity.
Boysenberry concentration meets rose hip brightness. Sandalwood spice weaves through dried herb complexity. Mineral backbone provides structure without overwhelming fruit. Silky texture carries flavors long. This 2016 drinks beautifully now but has years ahead. Impressive depth for the appellation.
