Shibumi Knoll Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2018
Details
97 Points | CWA
“A delightfully fresh and bright new Pinot release that displays a level of sophistication reminiscent of collector favorites (e.g. Kistler) that trade for significantly higher prices. Spicy dark fruit, black tea, and savory herbs impress now after decanting. This under-the-radar gem will pair quite well with an array of menus featuring grilled meats (beef, chicken or salmon) and creamy French cheeses. Enjoy now through 2030.” - California Wine Advisors (April, 2022)

“As to the reds, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is brilliant stuff and competes with any number of more expensive single vineyard releases. Ripe black raspberries, strawberries, flowers, and dried herbs as well as a kiss of oak all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, supple, mouth-filling, utterly delicious Pinot Noir that will keep for 5-6 years.” - Jeb Dunnuck
Winery Notes
“The 2018 vintage is a beautiful example of rustic, earthy Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir at its finest with a smooth elegance that exemplifies Shibumi Knoll wines. The Pinot Noir has a deep, beautiful rich garnet color. There are hints of fennel, licorice, fig, plum, apricot and ripe berries. There is a long finish that keeps the flavors lingering just long enough until you take that second sip of delight.”
