2018 Domaine Della Terra de Promissio Pinot Noir [JD93][WA93][JS93][WE92]

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Terra De Promissio from the Sonoma Coast has a wonderful bouquet of pretty red (and some black) fruits as well as lots of white flower, spice, peppery herbs, and subtle vanilla-laced aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, and elegant on the palate, it has plenty of Sonoma Coast elegance and prettiness while still showing the richer, riper style favored at this address. It's going to keep for 7-8 years nicely." 

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Terra de Promissio has a nose of cranberry sauce and cherry jam accented by Earl Grey tea, cola, woodsmoke, amaro and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is packed with nuanced fruits. It has a fine, grainy frame and is super fresh, finishing long and flavorful. This will benefit from another couple of years in bottle." 

"Red-cherry, blueberry, dried-herb, slate, vanilla and nutmeg aromas. Dried grapefruit zest, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek, well integrated tannins and crisp acidity. Elegant and refined with a more mineral finish. Drink or hold." 

"Rose-petal aromas build on a concentrated layering of strawberry, dense earth and warm spice in this coastal wine. Rogue edginess drives the mid palate, girded by a foundation of firm tannin and supportive oak."
