Boars’ View Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2016
What a joy to re-taste this gorgeous Pinot now that it has benefitted from just a few years of cellar time! The fragrant bouquet fragrant reminds us of strolling through a red rose garden. The velvety rich texture leads to dark berries, black plum, pomegranate, and fig jam all perfectly woven together. Just approaching its prime drinking window, this gem displays hints of favorite Marcassin vintages as with warm Christmas spices, exotic spices (unique to this region) and an ethereal finish. This gem is entering its prime drinking window now and should continue to impress anytime through 2027+. Brief decanting recommended prior to 2024.
