Coquerel’s 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is bright, forward, fruity and elegant. The aromatics and flavors have a spicy “blue” quality to them that implies purity and youth. The moderate alcohol level, firm acid and low pH ensure a mouthfeel that is brisk, lively and satisfying. Balanced tannins and dash of oak in the finish provide structure, length and an ability to pair perfectly with a wide range of foods.
