2018 Paul Hobbs Cleary Estate Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Settled on a hilltop overlooking the remote town of Freestone, the vineyard is located in the Freestone-Occidental

AVA, a highly distinguished sub-region of the greater west Sonoma Coast AVA. Inviting shades of crimson and

violet hues in the glass help mark the second vintage from this vineyard that overlooks the remote town of

Freestone in the West Sonoma Coast AVA. Bright red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas lead to rose petal and

orange peel. The palate is refined and beguiling, imparting a supple texture and generous flavors of boysenberry,

Assam tea, and hints of white pepper. Nuances of graphite and sea salt bring another dimension that coalesces

with focused acidity driving a long, lively finish.
