Cobb, Pinot Noir "Emmaline Ann Vineyard" 2022 Sonoma Coast, CA

Cobb Wines represents the intersection of scientific precision and artisanal winemaking, founded by marine biologist David Cobb and his son Ross in 2001. Emmaline Ann Vineyard sits at the western edge of Sebastopol in one of the coldest microclimates on the Sonoma Coast, where fog and ocean winds create conditions for wines of remarkable elegance and restraint. This single-vineyard bottling showcases the sophisticated, cool-climate style that has made Ross Cobb a benchmark producer for Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

Bright and lifted aromas of red cherries, dried strawberries, amaro liqueur, and citrus peel interweave with notes of wild blackberry cobbler and black truffle. The medium-bodied palate displays fine tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering layers of pomegranate, rhubarb, and black tea seasoned with cardamom and white pepper. The wine finishes with savory, drying minerality and Old-World charm, showing both delicacy and underlying structure that speaks to its cool coastal origins.
