Cobb Rice-Spivak Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Reviews

Decanter – “Ross Cobb’s 2017 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak Vineyard is light on its feet, perfumed and gracious. Crushed red berries, wild flowers, cinnamon and citrus all perk up this ethereal, mid-weight Pinot. The 50% whole clusters add aromatic presence and savoriness without overpowering the wine. I very much like the sense of energy here. This is such an elegant Pinot.” (96 Pts)

Wine Advocate – “Pale ruby-purple, the nose of the 2017 Cobb Rice-Spivak Vineyard Pinot Noir offers delicate raspberry and strawberry fruits, deeper tones of cranberry and rhubarb, plus top notes of floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is gorgeous, fleshing out to pure, sweet fruits, finely grained and seamlessly fresh with a long, flavor-packed finish.” (95+ Pts)

Wine Enthusiast – “Pungent compostable earth and forest pine form a foundation of savory sensation across the palate of this lively vineyard-designate, brightly intertwined in pomegranate and rhubarb. Grippy and spicy in both baking and Asian spice, it impresses across a lengthy finish.” (95 Pts)

Vinous – “Aromas of red cherries, birch and dried cardamom lead to a racy texture, succulent at first then expanding greatly on the palate after some time in the glass. The finish shows notes of pomegranate purée, green peppercorns and potpourri. A pretty and lifted iteration of the Rice-Spivak site. Drinking Window 2020 – 2037” (93 Pts)
