Martin Ray Pinot Noir (Sonoma) 22

Layers of fresh raspberry and plum with hints of candied violets and earth blend seamlessly with vivid red notes of tart cherry and hibiscus in this Martin Ray Pinot Noir from California. A subtle undercurrent of sassafras and vanilla adds complexity, while bright acidity and velvety, yet structured tannins create a balanced finish. Rated 93 PTS by James Suckling, this wine is a typical Sonoma Coast Pinot with a tightness and brightness, showcasing flavors of dark cherry and ripe strawberry. Medium to full bodied, this wine has a compacted palate and firm finish, making it an ideal gift for wine lovers. Consider allowing it to open up for even better enjoyment in a year or two.
