Landmark 2008 Kanzler Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Kanzler Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Landmark / Sonoma Coast

With Pinot Noir, texture is everything, and this lovely wine is pure silk and satin. That makes it drinkable now, with its pretty flavors of raspberries, cherries, cola, cinnamon butter and sandalwood. But it’s also tannicly tough, with a sandpapery scour. Seems like it should mellow over the next 3–4 years, although not much beyond that.
