Boars' View Sonoma Coast Estate Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir
Vivacious and exotic, this bold Pinot Noir expresses the best attributes of its coastal, rugged hillside vineyard location. The wine displays a brilliant purple hue in the glass. A crescendo of aromas suggest notes of clove, black licorice, cranberry skin, and mint oil. The silky palate is layered with complex notes of spice-dusted bramble fruit, lavender, kirsch, star anise, and plum reduction. With a mouth-watering acid framework and exotic spice lingering through the long finish, this vintage has all the best qualities this site provides. Our vines are in their prime, the ‘sweet spot’ of their development offering yields with considerable concentration and consistency from which we can make the most expressive, elegant wines possible.
