Kokomo Winery Gopher Hill Peters Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 Review

These grapes come from Gopher Hill, a vineyard on the western side of Sonoma close to the ocean. It was once an apple orchard and now houses a clonal selection dating back to the eighties. Oh and Gopher's still try to make this vineyard their home. This wine is a cinnamon cherry cola crush. It's so bright and with balanced yet sweet oak flavors rushing in. It has a lovely texture on the palate with hints of softened tannins around the edges and bright berries and natural acidity lifting up the core of the wine.
