2021 Radio-Coteau Pinot Noir La Neblina | Sonoma Coast, California 750ml

The 2021 La Neblina deliciously embodies the misty forest floor and wild berry fruit of the cool Sonoma Coast. Quenching notes of red currant and Bing cherry are further lifted by invigorating touches of wild sage, warm cinnamon spice, and dried rose petals. A polished, medium weight texture carries through to a bright finish. Delightfully energetic upon release, the 2021 La Neblina also shows promising potential for long-term aging. | Radio-Coteau

Made with 20% whole cluster fermentation and all used barrels, the ruby-hued 2021 Pinot Noir La Neblina has a floral and spicy perfume with a refined feel to its notes of candied roses, ripe red cherry, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a refined tannin structure, a silky texture, and a good balance of freshness and ripeness. Pure, with raspberry and brambly herbs, it's in a great place already and will do well over the next 6-8 years. | 94 points, Audrey Frick for jebdunnuck.com
