Radio-Coteau La Neblina Pinot Noir 2014
The Radio-Coteau La Neblina is the estates flagship Pinot Noir comprised of a complex array of five organically grown West Country coastal sites. Spanish for “fog,” la neblina rolls in from the Pacific Ocean to blanket and cool the coastal Pinot Noir vineyards of western Sonoma County.
“The 2014 Pinot Noir La Neblina is an attractive wine, although it may be going through a slightly awkward stage, as I don’t quite see the level of sweetness or early accessibility that is typical, but that could also be partly a result of the structured vintage. Dark red cherry, plum, licorice and menthol are some of the signatures, but it is the wine’s tension and brilliance that I find especially compelling. I tasted the 2014 from barrel. My impression is that the 2014 will require a bit more cellaring than normal. The Neblina is a blend of five sites, with Hallberg as the core vineyard. This is a gorgeous Pinot Noir from Radio-Coteau.”
– Antonio Galloni, Vinous (92-94 Points)
