Note di degustazione
The 2016 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is the real gem in this range, given its superb quality and modest price. Then again, the Sonoma Coast Pinot is the second wine from Paul Hobbs' Goldrock Estate. Unctuous and creamy on the palate, with terrific depth, the 2016 shows why the wines of the true Sonoma Coast are so appealing. Sweet red cherry pie, blood orange, pomegranate and wild flowers all race out of the glass. More importantly, the 2016 shows why the wines of the Sonoma Coast are so compelling , and that comes down to being able to achieve ripe flavors at relatively low sugars.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir reveals pronounced black cherries, wild blueberries, baking spices and dark chocolate notes plus an alluring waft of red roses. Full-bodied, concentrated and plushly textured, it fills the palate with decadent fruit and tons of spicy accents, finishing with fantastic length. 6,944 cases were made.
The 2016 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is essentially a second selection from Paul Hobbs' new Goldrock Estate. As such, it is a very serious wine. The firm tannins are going to need time to soften, but there is more than enough fruit to allow that to happen. This coastal Pinot finishes with stunning depth and complexity.
