One 750ml bottle of Shane 2012 'La Reine' Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

A classic interpretation of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, La Reine hails from the frigid Petaluma Gap sub-section of the Sonoma Coast appellation. One parcel is near the crest of the western hills of the Petaluma Gap and the other is on the base of the hills. Both fruit sources have the fractured adobe clay soils and are exposed to heavy winds and fog.

A dark garnet color in the glass, the 2012 La Reine has a refined aromatic mélange of dark fruits and spice. The wine is focused on a panoply of ripe plum, dark cherries, sage, and black tea. Elements of allspice, cola, blueberry, and dark chocolate meld with refined tannins. The finish exhibits dark elements of tarragon, elderberry, and sandalwood. Aged in twenty-five percent new French oak for fourteen months, with ten percent whole cluster inclusion, La Reine is a dark fruit and spicy Pinot Noir with a firm backbone and ample acidity.
