Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard is a more earthy, meaty effort with attractive currant and mulberry fruit as well as plenty of forest floor, earth, and a marine-like salinity and minerality. It's another medium-bodied, seamless, elegant wine in the lineup with loads to love.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard opens with notions of tar, loamy earth, wet bark and moss, slowly blossoming to dried blueberries, black cherries, oolong tea, dried violet and meaty/peppery hints. It's light to medium-bodied and earthy with pleasant woodsmoke and tobacco character, seamlessly woven tannic grain and freshness, finishing long. A very unique expression of the Coastlands vineyard this vintage. 238 cases were made.
The 2017 Pinot Noir Coastlands Vineyard is a wild, exotic wine that captures so much of what makes the Sonoma Coast so fascinating, namely the ability to achieve considerable fruit intensity and richness and moderate alcohol levels. Super-ripe black cherry, blackberry, mint, lavender and dark spice notes infuse a flamboyant, arrestingly beautiful Pinot loaded with personality. Once again, the Coastlands is truly exceptional. Don't miss it.
