2019 Reuling Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2019 Reuling Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Reuling Vineyard has a unique terroir that continues to fascinate us as winemakers. It is planted to three Pinot noir clones: Calera, and two “suitcase” clones from the Vosne Romanée region of Burgundy: La Tâche and Romanée Conti. Mark Aubert helped develop the vineyard and produced highly rated Reuling Pinot noir wines for ten years. Impressive and distinctive, this 2019 Pinot noir opens with complex aromas of earth and forest floor that lead to dark cherry, mushroom and truffle notes. Jeb Dunnuck writes, “Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a wonderful sense of tension, integrated tannins, a good spine of acidity, and just the classic cooler climate, elegant, perfumed style of this appellation front and center. It’s well worth seeking out.”

"I loved the 2019 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard, which comes from a site on the Sonoma Coast. It has a medium ruby hue as well as a classic Sonoma Coast perfume of framboise, spring flowers, sappy herbs, and subtle conifer forest aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a wonderful sense of tension, integrated tannins, a good spine of acidity, and just the classic cooler climate, elegant, perfumed style of this appellation front and center. It’s well worth seeking out. While it’s already drinking nicely today, it will keep for another 7-8 years with no issues." - Jeb Dunnuck
