MacPhail 2007 Pratt Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Pratt Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: MacPhail / Sonoma Coast

Here’s one for the cellar. It’s rich and ripe, yet the firm tannins and crisp acidity argue for time. Shows a complex heart of black cherries, red currants, cola, leather and smoky sandalwood that is frankly delicious. But the finish turns hard. Give it until 2011 to begin to show its stuff.
