2013 Banshee Pinot Noir Sonoma County

Really nice from a new-ish producer who has Ross Cobb & Katy Wilson (respectively from Cobb & LaRue) as consultants helping out.

From a variety of sites around Sonoma County including Rice-Spivak & Coastlands. This is a beautiful dark garnet red. Fleshy red fruit, high on acid/moderate on tannin. Quite aromatic & appealing. Punches well above the $25 price tag. I’m definitely interested in diving into the svd offerings after the quality in this bottle.

I picked up a couple bottles of their Coastlands Vineyard Pinot when we stopped at their tasting room in Healdsburg over thanksgiving. I’m not very good at tasting notes, but it had a kind of earthy, foresty thing going on I really liked. Good stuff.
