Cline Cellars
Sonoma County Pinot Noir


The nose shows pomegranate, raspberries, cherries, lilac, a tiny touch of chocolate and leather too. This is very inviting. The palate is very well made, there is a good, strong acid backbone, some nice matter on the sides and a bright red fruit touch that gives it a sweeter, rounder twist that what old world pinots would show. Some tannins kick in in the rear before a long, fresh finish with cherry and raspberries notes that last for a while. It's a bigger style than what I'm used too, a bit richer and rounder but this is a great expression of pinot and I can't wait to discover it further!

Can’t put my finger on why I didn’t like it, it just wasn’t for me

Great fruity Pinot. Accidentally decanted for 12 hours and was still great. Full bodied. 2018 vintage
