VinoUS Media Review
Rated 94
The 2018 Pinot Noir Coopersmith is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and graphite infuse the 2018 with tremendous richness and pure density. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural resonance and virile intensity. Drink 2022-2033. (Antonio Galloni)
Wine Tasting Notes
The beautiful purple hue is most impressive, and the nose delivers with aromas of creamy milk chocolate, cherry cola, savory lavender and rose, as well as maple spice. The entry is juicy and mouth-filling. On the palate, there are notes of cherry, toasty oak and espresso bean. There is significant tannic structure, and the wine is aging beautifully and will continue to do so for a sustained period.
