el coro is a block in the petaluma gap estate vineyard that is exposed to the winds. that may account for the wine's tight, closed quality. it's brisk in acidity and strong in tannins, although it preserves pinot's light, silky texture. the fruits are intensely concentrated in raspberries, cranberries and currants. no reason why this pinot shouldn't develop in the bottle beyond 2018.
