WA97 The 2018 Pinot Noir Diane Cobb Coastlands Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1989. Pale ruby, the 2018 offers both power and delicacy. The nose takes time to evolve from tobacco leaves and dusty earth to wild blackberries and cranberries, citrus peel, rose petal and saline. The palate surprises with its fruit intensity and notably silty, seamless frame, finishing uplifted and very spicy.
Estate Notes: The Diane Cobb block is the heart of the estate Coastlands. This 1.5-acre block is both own-rooted and planted to a myriad of clones that my mother put into the ground in 1989. I’m going out on a limb to say this might be the best Diane Cobb to date. While I loved the 2017, the 2018 amazingly is an improvement. It has all the spice and power that you expect from the estate along with a purity that I haven’t seen in past vintages. There is both a lushness and a gamey-ness that you don’t see in the other wines. It’s like you took a killer rock band and added an orchestra behind it. Only 252 cases produced.
