2019 Cobb 'Kiser Vineyard' Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
Cobb Pinot lovers, rejoice—this 2019 Kiser Vineyard might be the boldest yet! Nestled in Anderson Valley’s cooler, coastal edge, Kiser produces Pinot Noir with striking structure and wild intensity.
Fermented with 40% whole clusters and aged 22 months in 35% new oak, this wine is pure elegance and power. Black cherry, pomegranate, and blood orange lead the way, with lilac, lavender, and spice adding layers of complexity. Silky yet angular, it’s just hitting its stride and promises a decade of cellar potential.
Wine Advocate
The 2019 Pinot Noir Kiser Vineyard was made with about 40% whole clusters. It has a medium ruby color and ferrous aromas of iron, forest floor, lilac and blood orange accenting a deep core of pomegranate and rhubarb. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and fresh, with botanical, iron-laced fruits and a very long, layered finish. It's shy and a touch less harmonious than the other 2019s from Cobb at this stage, so allow it another 2-3 years in bottle to unfold.
