Tasting notes
Pale garnet, the 2010 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard has an incredible perfume of violets, tea leaves, tangerine and loads of dried, sweet red berry fruits with alluring earth and amaro accents. The light-bodied palate is so elegant, with chocolaty tannins, seamless freshness and delicate, pure sweet berry fruits, finishing long, uplifted and ethereal. Wow! What a gorgeous, mature Sonoma Cost Pinot Noir.

The 2010 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard has an extra level of mid-palate juiciness and depth next to the straight Coastlands bottling. Sweet, dense and perfumed, the 2010 is all about texture and perfume, of course in the restrained style of the vintage. Readers who can resist the temptation of opening bottles for at least a few years will be on for a real treat.
Bright ruby. A heady, complex bouquet evokes red fruit liqueur, sassafras, potpourri and Asian spices, with a deeper cherry pit nuance emerging with air. Intensely floral and precise on the palate, offering spice-accented raspberry and rose pastille flavors and a strong jolt of allspice. Becomes fleshier with air while maintaining vivacity and focus, finishing sweet and impressively long, with smoothly integrated tannins adding shape. (JR)
