2014 La Follette North Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., pH 3.53, TA 0.62, 7,458 cases, $22, screwcap. Heart of this blend is Pinot Noir grown in the cool Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast AVA. Grapes from two family owned and organically farmed vineyards in Mendocino County round out the wine. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. A mix of black cherry, peppery spices and black toast aromas lead to a mid weight wine with deep cherry flavor embellished with a note of spice. Silky tannins but enough structure to give the wine shoulders. Easy drinking, with a modicum of oak underlay and a modest but crisp finish. Score: 88. Reviewed December 13, 2016
