B. Kosuge 'The Shop' 2018 Carneros Pinot Noir

 Winemaker formerly of Saintsbury. The nose shows classic Carneros character with an aroma set of full cherry, bacon fat, oak spice and some raspberry. The palate is moderate in weight with present cherry, blackberry, a bit of spice and some barrel notes. D&M Tasting Notes

More pure than powerful. As always, The Shop is a blend of oak and concrete aged wines, and is one of my most "user friendly" offerings--fruity and easy to like, but with a little structure and gravity. It’s showing well now, and will go with all the usual matches for Pinot Noir. Which is to say, pretty much everything! Winery Notes
