2023 Brooks Note Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points
Bright, rich, notably spicy and full of tightly-wound, youthful fruit, this classy Pinot unfolds scents of red cherry, lingonberry and red raspberry, atied to others of cinnamon stick, mace, baking spice and dried orange peel. It proves as fresh and focused as hoped on the palate, where zest and polished tannin bring a sense of tension to the gradually emerging fruit and spice flavors and that tension persists through a lingering, mineral-laced finish. If still a hint youthfully coiled, it is brightly focused from start to finish and should grow in nobility and appeal over the next two or three years. 300 Cases Produced.
