Evening Land Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012

This wine is bright, brick red with soft, pink edges. There is an aroma of cherry cola, with a pleasant mixture of fresh, slightly stewed fruit and hints of wet stones. The fruit-driven palate is bursting with a nice balance of dark plums, cherries and juicy, fresh raspberry fruits. There is a slight blanket of dry violets that gives way to a soft but direct acidity. The focused tannins accompany a long, mineral finish.
