Tasting notes
The 2016 Pinot Noir Bob's Ranch comes from the Sonoma Coast and was brought up in 45% new French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. This deeply colored effort gives up lots of smoky red and black fruits, peppery herbs, mint and soil aromas, medium to full body, a beautifully seamless, silky texture, and a good finish. With good acidity, nicely integrated tannins, and plenty to love, it should keep for 7-8 years.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bob's Ranch opens with pronounced notes of blackberry preserves, blueberry pie and chocolate box with hints of anise, dried bay leaves and tilled black soil. Big, rich and full-bodied, the generously fruited palate is well-framed by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and fruity. 1,061 cases produced.
