2019 Cobb Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard Sonoma Coast

The Emmaline Anne Vineyard is a tiny 3-acre gem in the Freestone Valley that is one of Ross’s favorite vineyards. It receives the most fog of any of the vineyards Ross works with and yields an expression of pinot noir that beautifully blends a penetrating, regal power with supreme elegance and sophistication. 202 cases made.

Wine Advocate 96 -The 2019 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard was made with 50% whole clusters and matured for 22 months in 40% new French oak. It is delicate and broody on the nose at this stage, with a core of raspberry fruit and accents of saline, seaweed, cracked pepper and violet. The light-bodied palate is delicate, grainy and fresh, with layer after layer of detailed fruits and a latent finish that hints at more to come as this matures in bottle.
