  Coming from the Sonoma Coast, the 2016 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch offers a classic, perfumed, red (sometimes blue) fruit driven perfume that I often associate with this cooler region. Wild strawberries, pomegranates, forest floor, and hints of leafy herbs all emerge from this medium-bodied, incredibly elegant and seamless Pinot Noir. I love its purity of fruit. It offers intensity with no weight and a great, great finish. It’s a brilliant wine.

  Aromas of strawberries, raspberries and lemons follow through to a full to medium body. Bright acidity and a linear, vivid finish. This is very cool and clean for Russian River, reflecting a unique terroir. Drink or hold.

  Full, rich and layered, with a firm and fleshy core of well-centered wild berry and raspberry flavors, intense and focused, ending with a long, persistent aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2024.

  Aged 16 months in 46% new French oak, the 2016 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch is pale to medium ruby with scents of violet, lilac, pink peppercorn, crushed raspberries and red cherry preserves with blood orange peel, forest floor and bitters. The palate is medium-bodied, über silky and explodes with spicy red berry flavors, wrapped in a softly grainy frame and with seamless freshness on the long, spicy finish. 2,900 cases produced.
