Cobb - 2018 Pinot Noir - Sonoma Coast

Overview: In 2017 we released two pinots from Doc’s Ranch, splitting up the clones between the heritage Calera & Swan and the more traditional French Pommard & 114. While I plan on continuing that moving forward, in 2018 I was so intrigued by this newer vineyard I bottled the Calera and Pommard alone. These wines will be a great benchmark for the site moving forward, and forever hold a place in the history of Cobb Wines. This bottling shouldn’t be missed for all our fellow oenophiles of the world.

Production: 229 cases | Clones: Pommard | Soil: Uplifted Marine Sedimentary | Elevation: 1000ft | Barrels: 30% New French Oak for 22 Months | Whole Cluster: 40%

Tasting Notes: The 2018 Pinot Noir Doc’s Ranch Vineyard Pommard is sensual, open-knit and so gracious. Bright red cherry fruit, orange peel, spice, mint and sweet pipe tobacco all meld together in a gorgeous, mid-weight Pinot that is so full of immediacy and allure.

Pairing: Chilean Wagyu sirloin

Points: 95, Vinous

Format / ABV: 750 ml/13.2%
