Elizabeth Spencer Winery Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Reviews

Dusky tones of grilled plums, redwood forest and balsam fill the aromas of this full-bodied, ultrasmooth wine. Very ripe dried-fruit and dark chocolate flavors take over the palate.

This wine’s rich, cherry crush of fruit is in the youthful grip of its tea-like tannins, lasting in notes of cherry skins and the peppery warmth of oak. There’s complexity in the tannins, in scents of tree bark and leaves, and in their grand texture. A steakhouse pour, this will benefit from a year in the cellar. — Reviewed by Joshua Greene
