2016 Auteur Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

(92  Points --  Wine Advocate)

The 2016 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was aged for 15 months in 50% new French oak. Medium ruby-purple colored, it gives expressive redcurrants, black cherries and mulberries notes with nuances of cinnamon toast, violets and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, it's bursting with red berry and perfumed black cherry goodness with lovely fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing with a lovely herbal lift. 156 cases produced.
