2018 WEST POLE SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR "An estate-grown wine given 30% whole-cluster fermentation, this is a fleshy and lively red wine, broad in appeal and funky earthiness. Forest, black tea and spicy white pepper dominate a lighthearted palate of silky texture and elegance." 94 Points "The 2018 Pinot Noir West Pole is outstanding as well as a notable value. Giving up lots of brambly herbs and stemmy nuances paired with a core of sweet raspberry and cherry fruits, it’s medium-bodied and has a rounded, elegant texture along with plenty of character. Drink it over the coming 3-4 years." 91 Points
