2010 James Family Cellars Estate Grown Stony Point Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.3% alc.,
$36. Best of Class and Double Gold 2012 Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the
glass. Appealing aromas of ripe Bing cherry pie glaze, cola and spice with oak that becomes more noticeable
over time. Middleweight core of ripe cherries with hints of nutmeg and cherry cola, framed by silky, balanced
tannins. A cherry bombast that has a little more oak topcoat than I prefer, but as indicated by the exalted
competition award, this wine will definitely find fans. Good.

Light crimson robe. Long and persistent scents of black cherries, violets, oak and baking spice.
