Deep aromas of ripe blackberry, shaved dark chocolate, and wet stone characterize the serious profile of the 2021 vintage of Bob’s Ranch. Flavors of dark plum, black tea and toasted oak are layered on the seamless, vivid palate. Dynamic, focused and perfectly balanced with acidity, the wine builds to a long finish.
Bob’s Ranch Vineyard is characterized by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Coastal breezes along with low rolling hills and morning fog define this cool climate site. Comprised of 43 vineyard blocks on 72 acres, and planted to an array of clones and field selections, this ranch produces complex and delicious wines of true Sonoma Coast character. This wine hails from our best vineyard blocks at Bob’s Ranch each year.
100% Pinot Noir aged for 10 months in 45% New French Oak (François Frères).
Wine Spectator Review:
This is packed with dark cherry, plum and blackberry compote notes that have good tension and energy, thanks to nicely embedded racy acidity. Reveals a gloss of toast, anise and licorice on the finish, but this is light-handed and lets the fruit play out nicely. Drink now through 2029. 2,010 cases made.
