Cobb Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard comes from the original nursery block of own-rooted vines planted in 1989 in marine sedimentary soils at 1,150 feet above sea level. Made with 70% whole clusters, it's wonderfully detailed yet powerful. It has slowly opening scents of sweet tobacco, lavender and aniseed with a deep, youthfully reticent core of red fruit. The medium-bodied palate surprises with its explosive fruit. Concentrated, fragrant red berry flavors are supported by chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
