6 barrels of Marin Coast Pinot Noir. Medium bodied with a velvety texture. Fruit forward aromatics of raspberry compote and baking spice.. It's a well balanced and food friendly expression of the 2007 vintage. Crowd pleasing is the best way to decribe this easy going Pinot Noir. And as always, basket pressed, unfiltered, 16% new 84% neutral French oak.

Here's a new review just in from PinotFile:13.5% alc., pH 3.59, TA 0.52, 145 cases, $28. Clones 115, 667 and Pommard. 20% whole clusters, cool fermentation to retain aromatics. ·Moderate reddish-purple hue in the glass. Glorious nose with engaging aromas of dusty cherries and berries, candied apple, earth and subtle oak. Delicious flavors of black cherries, black raspberries and spice finishing with a boatload of cherry flavor. Well-mannered fine grain tannins and refined acidity make for a cozy wine that is drinking perfectly now. Delivers plenty of pleasure while still remaining light on its feet. Reviewed November 29, 2011
