2013 Anaba Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., pH 3.65, TA 0.59, 1,705 cases, $36. Sourced from multiple vineyards. Clones 114, 115, Pommard, 667, 777 and Swan. Harvest Brix 23.9º. 100% de-stemmed, 6- day cold soak, basket pressed, aged 11 months on the lees in French oak barrels, 36% new. · Moderate reddish purple hue in the glass. Clean aromas of cherry, rhubarb, spice and seasoned oak lead to a middleweight core of earthy black cherry and black raspberry fruit flavors with a cola accent. The silky mouthfeel appeals and the tannins are tucked in, in this simple but pleasant wine. Score: 88. Reviewed June 5, 2015
