2010

Coastlands Vyd. Pinot Noir

$35

VM 92 (6/2013): Bright ruby-red. Lively, floral-accented aromas of red fruit preserves, cola and Asian spices, with a strong mineral overtone. Offers sappy raspberry and cherry flavors and suave vanilla and spicecake qualities that gain strength with air. Finishes sweet and long, with lingering rose and star anise notes and silky tannins. Distinctly elegant, with the balance to age. This wine got 40% new oak and checks in at 13.5% alcohol. Josh Raynolds.

2011

Coastlands Vyd. Pinot Noir

$35

VM 91 (6/2014): Vivid red. Pungent aromas of cherry skin, black raspberry, cola and Indian spices. Densely packed and energetic, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors along with subtle herb and floral pastille qualities. Dusty tannins provide structure and grip to the long, sharply focused finish, with the cherry and cola notes repeating. Josh Raynolds.

2009

Diane Cobb Vyd. Pinot Noir (1.5 L)

$195

VM 93+ (7/2013): The 2009 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard is sublime, delicate and beautifully layered from start to finish. An understated, gracious wine, the 2009 comes across as much more reticent than the other wines in the range. Because of the long elevage, the 2009 is still pretty shut down. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's pedigree and sheer class. With time in the glass, the fruit blossoms beautifully, but the Diane Cobb has less overt sweetness than the straight Coastlands. This is an impressive showing from Ross Cobb, who dedicated this wine to his later mother. (Drink between 2013-2020). Antonio Galloni.

BH 88 (10/2012): This is also quite perfumed with an expressive nose of upper register raspberry and cherry liqueur with top notes of cranberry as well as hints of blue berry and spice. There is just enough oak to notice on the very rich, suave and generous medium weight flavors that possess a seductive texture. This leans towards the fruit-driven side on the finish yet there is enough depth to remain interesting as well as solid length. A very pretty if not particularly deep offering. (Drink starting 2014).

2010

Diane Cobb Vyd. Pinot Noir

$125

VM 92+ (7/2013): The 2010 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard has an extra level of mid-palate juiciness and depth next to the straight Coastlands bottling. Sweet, dense and perfumed, the 2010 is all about texture and perfume, of course in the restrained style of the vintage. Readers who can resist the temptation of opening bottles for at least a few years will be on for a real treat. (Drink between 2013-2031). Antonio Galloni.

WA 92 (11/2020): Pale garnet, the 2010 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard has an incredible perfume of violets, tea leaves, tangerine and loads of dried, sweet red berry fruits with alluring earth and amaro accents. The light-bodied palate is so elegant, with chocolaty tannins, seamless freshness and delicate, pure sweet berry fruits, finishing long, uplifted and ethereal. Wow! What a gorgeous, mature Sonoma Cost Pinot Noir.

2014

Diane Cobb Vyd. Pinot Noir

$100

VM 93 (4/2018): The 2014 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb: Coastlands Vineyard is precise and nuanced, with striking aromatic complexity to play off the dark red cherry fruit. The 50% whole clusters are not especially evident. Medium in body, gracious and lifted, the 2014 has a lot to offer. Cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and dried cherry notes are laced together in this attractive, mid-weight Pinot, with clean, saline notes that support the long, super-expressive finish. (Drink between 2020-2029). Antonio Galloni.

WA 89 (11/2020): The 2014 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard opens with tar, scorched earth and rubber aromas obscuring a core of blackberry fruits. The medium-bodied palate is firm and somewhat rustic. Time to drink up.

2008

Emmaline Ann Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

WA 92 (11/2020): The pale garnet colored 2008 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard has delicate notes of saline, cigar wrapper, dried herbs and a hint of potpourri. The palate surprises, with a core of sweet berry fruits and savory accents, maintaining juicy acidity and abundant, dusty tannins, and finishing long and detailed. A lovely, mature expression.

2011

Emmaline Ann Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

WA 92 (11/2020): The 2011 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard opens with tar and scorched earth aromas that flesh out to dried red berries and citrus peel notes. The medium-bodied palate maintains a core of dark, broody fruit in a firm frame, and it finishes long and detailed. It's in a great spot for drinking right now.

VM 90 (6/2014): Bright red. Fresh raspberry and cherry-cola on the deeply scented nose and in the mouth. Supple and less tangy than its siblings this year, showing good breadth and a hint of building smokiness. Closes sweet and long, with building floral and spice notes and youthfully gripping tannins. There's a good amount of clay in this vineyard, which gives the wine a roundness virtually every vintage, notes Ross Cobb. Josh Raynolds.

2009

Jack Hill Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

VM 92 (7/2013): The 2009 Pinot Noir Jack Hill Vineyard, from a site south of Occidental, is arguably the most immediate of the 2009 Pinots in this range. Dark red cherries, exotic spices, licorice and cloves all flesh out in a radiant, expressive Pinot that impresses for its accessibility. Even though the Jack Hill is quite open today, there is plenty of underlying structure to support years of positive development in bottle. A creamy, expressive finish rounds things out in style. The Jack Hill was made from fully de-stemmed fruit. (Drink between 2015-2025.) Antonio Galloni.

2010

Jack Hill Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

VM 92 (7/2013): The 2010 Pinot Noir Jack Hill Vineyard is a wine of pure impact. An intense, forward offering, the 2010 stands out for its overt juiciness for a Cobb Pinot, but there is a striking purity and inner perfume in the flavors. It will be interesting to see where the 2010 goes over the coming years. Today it is surprisingly big, rich and structured. (Drink between 2015-2031). Antonio Galloni.

2012

Jack Hill Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

VM 91+ (2/2016): The 2012 Pinot Noir Jack Hill Vineyard is a very pretty, perfumed wine. Dried cherry, rose petal, mint and anise grace the palate. This is an especially light to medium-bodied Pinot that emphasizes floral an spice notes, while the fruit is pushed more into the background. The 2012 was done with 35% whole clusters and spent 22 months in barrel. Today, it is a bit closed and not fully expressive. Antonio Galloni.

2009

Rice-Spivak Vyd. Pinot Noir

$59

2011

Rice-Spivak Vyd. Pinot Noir

$45

WA 91 (11/2020): The 2011 Pinot Noir Rice Spivak Vineyard has a pale ruby color and takes time to open to aromas of saline, dried red berries, iodine and wafts of floral potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied and firm, with a slow flourish of spicy red fruits, and it finishes long, delicate and lifted. It’s a very pretty, mature expression of Rice Spivak.
