Aston Estate Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Rare new Pinot Noir from renowned  winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown and Schrader Cellars: introducing Aston Estate. Limited. Aston Estate, founded in 2001, is an exceptional Sonoma-based collaboration between winemaker Thomas Brown, vintner Fred Schrader, and as Schrader Cellars coins, "Secret Weapon, Mr. Big." Part of the Schrader umbrella, the 40 acre-estate along the Sonoma Coast produces exclusively Pinot Noir that is classically styled with rich and elegant palate profiles. 93 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a deep but transparent red, with ripe aromas of red cherry, wild herbs, pine, and damp earth. The palate is ripe and saturated with fantastic lift and energy, noted with blood orange, snappy with ripe pomegranate, and offering a crunchy texture. it is a lovely wine to drink over next several years, but I like its youthful nature. Drink 2024-2034." The Aston Estate 2021 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a deep, dark, and structured wine from a strong, well-rounded vintage. The wine displays an almost completely opaque dark purple hue in the glass. Exotic aromas of bay leaf, macerated bramble fruit, blood orange and cedar bough emerge from the glass in concert. The palate is defined by mouth-watering freshness from front to back, marked by notes of fresh earth, cherry reduction, crushed rock and primrose. There is so much generosity and complexity to this wine, only time will tell what great notions will come to light in the bottle.
