The 2015 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is juicy and succulent, with plenty of red and purplish berry fruit. This is an especially forward, soft style for the coast. The tannins could use another 6-12 months in bottle to soften, but this is very nicely done. 88 points

The 2015 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with a lovely nose of red roses, lavender and cinnamon stick over a core of red cherries, pomegranate and underbrush plus a waft of fungi. The palate is medium-bodied with tons of crunchy red fruit and a firm, fine-grained frame, finishing with wonderful vivacity. 408 cases produced. 92+ points

This is aromatically similar to the RRV but with hints of menthol and anise. Here too there is good verve to the slightly better delineated medium weight flavors that possess good focus on the dusty, moderately firm and attractively persistent finish. This will need a few years to unwind and develop better depth but I like the potential. 9
