Pali Wine Co. Riviera Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012

$19.99

Pali is a hot new producer in the world of California Pinot Noir and have been getting fantastic scores.  The Riviera is one of the best Pinot values we've discovered this year.The 2012 Pali “Riviera” Pinot Noir features a bright bouquet of plum, fresh raspberries, wild blackberries, coriander, lavender, iron and cinnamon. The palate is rich and full with black fruits intertwined with fresh raspberry, black pepper and wet stone that resonate in a fanning finish of sweet red currant and dark chocolate. 93 Points "Best Buy," The Pinot Report:  "Deep ruby color; complex, deep berry aromas with some forest floor notes; rich, complex berry and cherry flavors with earth and oak notes; silky texture; good structure and balance; long finish. Deep, rich Pinot with nice complexity. Perfect for what's on the grill."

Peppery nose and secondary flavor after bright red fruit. Lightly oaked with smooth mouthfeel and lingering finish.

Not quite the complexity or typicity I look for in a Sonoma Coast pinot. Quaffable though

From Schneider's in DC. $25. Gentle nose with light berry aromas and a touch of leather. Light-med body on the tongue with a slightly acidic finish. Fairly mellow.

A new favorite among my reds....if you see it make sure to try it. It has a nice body with a nice smooth taste. It's from a very good and small vineyard that has some of the best 100% Pinot Noirs in the Sonoma Coast
