from the winery's annapolis vineyard, at the cool, northern tip of the “true” sonoma coast, comes this chunky young pinot noir. although the grapes were destemmed before fermentation, the tannins are significant, a reflection of the low yields and tough skins the berries develop. in fact, the wine is almost zinny in its full body and spicy, briary fruit. it clearly needs time. best after 2011.
