Landmark Vineyards Grand Detour Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016 Review
Wow, this is a beautiful wine. When I think of the power and elegance of Cali Pinot Noir, this is what I imagine. Lush, fleshy and as deep as the color in your glass, this wine is filled with a chorus of Pinot's tell-tale cherry notes in direct harmony with subtle hints of cinnamon layered with leather and tobacco leaf, complimented by a whisper of graphite. And the price is great for what's inside.
