Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Exactly, it's no different here in California either, the best way to judge a winemaker is by his entry-level wine.

Then everything is clear here, because this wine here, folks, is so great that it's hard to believe. I mean, if this wine is already such a hit - and I don't mean that it has endless power (what are people thinking?) - then how do the single-vineyard wines from Rivers Marie fare? I see you understand what I mean.

The Sonoma Pinot charms with a slightly darker fruit that provides the bass. The high notes come from spicy aromas, such as lavender or is it sage? No matter, it freshens up the fragrance tremendously, gives it a certain lightness, makes the fragrance almost fleeting, fabulously light. Wonderful. On the palate, the wine delivers what it promises on the nose, showing plenty of density, even power, which is wonderfully framed and supported by a fabulous structure. Magnificent. A wine that, like most of Thomas Brown's wines, will demand patience. Quite normal for a great wine. Do not hesitate!
