1849 Wine Co., Sonoma County (California) Pinot Noir 2018

 Nicely ripened but still fresh and delicate, this fine Pinot shows some complexity thanks to scents of wild strawberries, tomato leaf and baking spices.  Admirably light-bodied but with notable expressiveness in both its aromas and flavors, this achieves a satisfying profile without incorporating any element that seems overblown or overly obtrusive.  Fresh and just flat fun to drink now, this will gain even more complexity over the next couple of years.  A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
