Brilliant, deep ruby red in color, the 2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir opens with aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, and crisp red apple skin, perfumed with hints of delicate florals and forest floor. Harmonious layers of plum, raspberry, and Morello cherry lift the well-focused palate, while bright acidity and fine-grained tannins add tension to the long, refreshing drink.
Lots of dried strawberry, umami, seaweed, and bark with some savory undertones. Some flowers. Medium body. Creamy and flavorful. Lovely deliciousness at the end. It’s made from different parts of Paul Hobbs’ top vineyards - George Menini Estate, Cleary Estate, Goldrock Estate, and Catherine Lindsay Estate.
The 2022 Pinot Noir, made entirely with estate fruit, calls you into the glass with perfumed cranberry and pomegranate, accents of sweet baking spices, autumn leaves and generous floral tones. The light-bodied palate offers a deep core of spicy fruit supported by gently chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, bright finish.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is youthful, ripe magenta/ruby hue and is inviting as it opens to pretty notes of pie spice, cherry liqueur, and crushed roses. It is clean and inviting on the palate, with lovely elegance, a refined feel, and great freshness through the finish. It’s pretty darn tasty now but can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years.
