Slightly leaner than her Russian River Valley bottling (also reviewed this week), this Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir has more delicate red fruit notes and a lower alcohol than reflect the cooler signature of the Sonoma Coast. There’s still a lovely mingling of fruit, spice and earthy flavors that dance across the palate.
