Shibumi Knoll Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Moving to the reds, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast comes from the Riddle Vineyard in Sonoma and spent 10 months in 20% new French oak. Black raspberries, sappy herbs, spring flowers, and some black tea notes all give way to a medium-bodied, elegant, vibrant Sonoma Pinot Noir with supple, fine-grained tannins and a great finish. It will age, but it's too good to resist today.

A plush, ripe style, with a core of warmed cherry compote and blackberry puree flanked by roasted apple wood and sweet spice notes. Shows good energy considering its more obvious style. Drink now through 2027. 130 cases made.
