2016 WesMar Hellenthal Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., $55. Sourced from the Elliott Block planted in 1981. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of cherry and rose petal lead to a discreetly concentrated wine featuring riveting flavors of black cherry, kirsch and spice. The satiny mouthfeel is highly seductive and the gracious tannins make for easy access. The wine's harmony and vigor impress as does the waves of fruit echoing on the glorious finish. This wine takes time to reveal itself. A truly invigorating wine from a great vintage. Score: 95. Reviewed August 27, 2020
