2011 Scherrer ‘Big Brother’ Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 140 cases, $55. Released July 2015. A blend of fruit from a vineyard in Annapolis and one in Bodega. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Charming aromas of cherry, rose, and sous-bois. Intensely flavored yet has the comportment of a ballerina on the palate, with luscious flavors of perfectly ripened dark red cherries and berries wrapped in suave tannins. Impeccably balanced with a charge of cherry extract on the persistent finish. Perfect to drink now, but this wine has the structure and harmony to age beautifully. I recently (mid-2015) consumed a 2007 vintage ‘Big Brother’ and it still had many years of life ahead. Score: 94. Reviewed November 22, 2015
