2014 La Rue Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 180 cases, $60. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, 30% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Crisp and refreshing, with bright aromas of black cherry and exotic spices replicated on the palate with added nuances of earth, mushroom and umami. Exquisitely balanced, this wine speaks of nobility and finishes with an infusion of vibrancy. Still engaging the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. You won’t find a better Sonoma Coast AVA bottling in the marketplace. Score: 92. Reviewed October 30, 2016
