2018 NICHOLE’S BLEND Sonoma County
$42.00
- Description
The Vineyards
The 2018 Nichole’s Blend Pinot Noir continues to be the cornerstone of the Spell wine made with fruit from our Vineyard Designated wines. From as far south as the Petaluma Gap, where the cold maritime breezes help to produce wines of excellent purity and elegance; to the east on top of Sonoma Mountain, with its volcanic soils which produce wines with structure and savoriness; to the far western edge of the Russian River Valley, which produces wines with richness and ripe dark fruit flavors, the resulting wine is an excellent example of the harmony between these distinctive regions within Sonoma County.
Winemaker Notes
A deep inky blue-purple color introduces this gorgeous wine. After a light swirl a mélange of ripe raspberry, Marion berry, streusel, sassafras, cedar, and sweet oak fill the glass. The potpourri of aromas is matched on the palate. Draped with suave tannins, sappy red fruit and sassafras are tied together with notes of blood orange. Lingering flavors of ripe raspberry and mocha coffee bring closure to an extremely pleasing wine. Drink now, or over the next 5 to 7 years.
