Tasted alongside its Russian River Valley sister bottling, released at the same time, this new wine from Sonoma-Cutrer founder Brice Jones shows far greater power. Just erupts with masses of sweet cherries and raspberries with a liqueur richness, and nuances of forest floor, pine needles and smoky oak. Really notable for balance. Citrusy acids and firm, sweet tannins give this Pinot, from way out on the Far Sonoma Coast, a brilliant structure. Beautiful now and for the next 10 years.

Really balanced and elegant, with such bracing acidity. Shows pure flavors of cherries and cassis, with earthy, forest floor notes and a touch of cherry tomato and beetroot. Only moderately oaked, just enough to add a smoky edge. Very young and minerally now, this should hold and improve for five to eight years.
