Tasting notes
Medium red in color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard is showing a lot of complexity at this stage, with layered aromas of spice and flowers, cardamom red berries, incense, dusty earth, and dried roses. Medium-bodied and graceful, it has notes of savory orange citrus, a light iron mineral profile, ripe tannins, and a weightless finish. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Coastlands: Diane Cobb is a blend of 18 different clones, all own-rooted, done with 70% whole clusters. It shows a bit more density and a touch more oak sweetness than most of the wines in the range. A burst of intense fruit makes a strong first impression, but the 2021 is a bit closed today. Gorgeous inner strength and a backbone of tannin wrap it all together. (AG)
The 2021 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard comes from the original nursery block of own-rooted vines planted in 1989 in marine sedimentary soils at 1,150 feet above sea level. Made with 70% whole clusters, it's wonderfully detailed yet powerful. It has slowly opening scents of sweet tobacco, lavender and aniseed with a deep, youthfully reticent core of red fruit. The medium-bodied palate surprises with its explosive fruit! Concentrated, fragrant red berry flavors are supported by chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 300 cases were made.
