Eric Kent Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Sascha Marie 2016

93 points PinotFile: "[$52 list] 14.7% alc., pH 3.60, TA 0.63, 247 cases. Art by Valerie Savarie. This bottling is named after Kent’s daughter and is sourced from Sangiacomo Roberts Road Vineyard (95%) and Grand Vent Vineyard (5%). Primary clones are 777 and Swan with a small amount of Pommard and 667. Moderate garnet color in the glass. Rapturous nose offering scents of black cherry, black raspberry and exotic spices. Vivid, fresh purple and black fruit flavors filled out with a compliment of oak. The burliest and fruitiest wine of the three tasted here, but not jammy. Excellent harmony with pleasing length on the finish. (12/11/18)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$52 list] Lithe, featuring rich cedary accents to the feathered raspberry, dried cherry and currant flavors. Juicy midpalate, with a savory undercurrent on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 247 cases made. (5/31/19)"

Producer notes: "A classic Sonoma Coast pinot nose of black raspberry and cherry and savory spice lead to a vibrant, shimmering core of the same on the palate. To borrow an expression, 'this wine really pinots.' Although its already quite irresistible, this Sascha’s is going to age like a champ, so please sock some away! Alcohol 14.7%. 247 cases produced."
