"From the Sonoma Coast, the 2015 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard is gorgeous on all accounts. Crushed rocks, lite gunpowder, black cherries, pomegranate, and ample forest floor notes all flow to a concentrated, medium-bodied, tight, chiseled Pinot Noir that has awesome balance and purity, building tannin, and a great finish. It's a world-class effort that needs 3-5 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades. Bravo! I was able to taste a bevy of single vineyard Pinot Noirs (although I think it’s only scratching the surface with regards to their portfolio) from this iconic estate, all of which showed singular, incredibly high-quality characters. Be warned though, these are structured, tannic efforts that are going to benefit from short term cellaring. They’ll be very long lived."
