Alma Fria, Holtermann Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

Lots of sulfur on opening. Took about 1.5 - 2 hours to open up and then it was fantastic. Light fruit appeared from nowhere, with delicious flavor and a fine finish.

raspberries, plum, rhubarb, touch of spice and stem. palate is very bright, dominated by red fruits and acid. moderate tannin.

Deep ruby color. Gorgeous aromas of chilled raspberries, fresh strawberries, re apple peel, along with a complex host of spicy rhubarb, white pepper, rose petals. Medium-bodied on the palate this is a brisk style but plenty of fleshy fruit and supported by dusty tannins. Crisp, chilled red fruits (raspberries, strawberries, red apple), with complex elements of spicy herbs, mushroom and soy. So harmonious right now but I’d love to hold for three or four years.
