Boars’ View Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2018

99 Points | CWA
“Fresh roses, cherries and vanilla on the nose. A mouth filling Pinot that is really juicy, yet elegant and balanced with cranberries, cherry and nutmeg on the palate. Generous ripeness and depth of flavor with a fresh finish that goes on forever. Just about as perfect as Pinot gets in California.” - California Wine Advisors

Winemaker Notes
“In a vintage like 2018, nature handles much of the early leg work for creating a memorable wine, and this vintage we had a lot of positive attributes in our favor. There is a complex woven harmony of dark red fruit, precise structure, and a pleasant spice compliment found in this wine. Aromas of cranberry compote, sandalwood, and lavender swell from the glass. The palate experience is dense with layers of black cherry, nutmeg, quince, plum paste, and lilac. The coating, decadent fruit quality is balanced with a mouth-watering acidity that draws out the extended floral finish. Overall, this is a wine that possesses a wealth of riches, reflective of the generous growing season, and contemplative winemaking practices.” - Winemaker Thomas Brown
