Aston Estate Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012

Ron R

This pinot continues to grow on us. Pleasant green notes combine with redwood and maraschino cherries. Presents a regal, gnarly texture on the palate, combined with a sexy sweetness. This is without doubt our pinot find over the last 12 months.

Big, but not brash. Untypical of pinot, but that’s what we enjoyed about this. Ripe nose filled with smoke, charcoal and dense stone fruits. Extracted palate is almost flamboyant. Mid-palate displays sweet herbs and complex wood treatment. Finishes with cloves, and oddly, lavender. We love idiosyncratic juice like this.

This thing is a monster that screams California. Very well made in a fruit forward style that makes no apologies.

Not your typical Pinot but delish

It's big with ripe black cherries, overripe blackberries, black raspberries, stewed strawberries, cherry preserves, raspberry & black cherry cola, light spice; nutmeg, light clove, baking spices, light touch of herbs, bramble, soft rich earth, soft volcanic minerals, bracey acidity with a round, full, big fruit finish. It is a touch on the sweet side but perhaps time lessens it.

Damn damn damn!!!

Not your typical California pinot by any means. Way more dry, higher alcohol... In that way I suppose it’s closer to a French style pinot? Best with food.
