The 2016 Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles comes from 26-year-old vines located at 1,000-1,250 feet on the second ridge in from the ocean. Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, it simply sings of crushed black cherries, black raspberries and kirsch notes plus nuances of underbrush, violets and chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs a real punch of bold, expressive black cherry and floral layers, framed by plush, fine-grained tannins and finishing long and vibrant. 400 cases produced.
