2016 Friedeman Terra de Promissio Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.1% alc., pH 3.42, TA 0.69, 47 cases, $60. 90% 115, 10% 777. 5-day cold soak, 7-day native fermentation, aged 15 months on the gross lees in French oak barrels, 50% new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Subdued aromas of cherry and savory herbs are echoed on the light to mid weight styled palate. Rounded, polished and rather elegant, but this wine lacks flavor impact and seems a touch underripe. The wine picks up a little fruit intensity over time in the glass and discreet tannins make for easy drinking. Score: 90. Reviewed June 9, 2018
