Articles About CL Wines (Cravin & Lattin)Reviewed Wines![]() 2004 CL Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 14.1% alc., $21.

The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a very popular by-the-glass pour at many top Northern California restaurants. · This is a perfectly fine Pinot Noir. It leads off with aromas of fresh crushed cherries and carries the cherries theme to the finish. There is a touch of heat on the nose but it is not intrusive. The texture is soft and the finish clean. Like sharing a cherry float with a cheerleader in a fuzzy red sweater. Reviewed January 15, 2007 ARTICLE »
