Each time that I tasted a PN from FRS reenforces my belief that it’s the best AVA for Pinot in Northern California, if not the entire CA.
The nose shows black cherry, plum, raspberry, wrapped in cedar, cinnamon, sea breeze and hint of forest floor. The palate is concentrated and robust, combining ripe berry note with wild herbs, and a subtle earthy minerality. Firm, fine tannins with good length. Powerful, polished, and quite expressive.
From estate vineyard blocks closest to the Pacific Ocean. Give it another 4-5 years to blossom.
