Keller Estate Winery El Coro Pinot Noir 2018 Review
The land of the Petaluma gap has been farmed for years, with Pinot and Chardonnay thriving in its solid and breezy climate. Now it is a three-year-old AVA and making a name for itself among the almost twenty Sonoma AVA's. This is a great example of the style that's becoming the standard here. Concentrated and juicy with a sour cherry nose flecked with cinnamon and black pepper. The palate has nice fruit depth and is soft but the natural acidity is prevalent making for a clam, even mouthfeel. Good cheese plate wine.
