Cobb Wines
Emmaline Anne Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016
Sonoma Coast
Often the most subtle and sophisticated expression of Cobb Pinot Noir, Emmaline Anne Vineyard sits at the western margin of Sebastopol, California, in one of the Sonoma Coast’s coldest microclimates and gets the most shade and fog of any of the vineyards Cobb works with. The combination of pinot noir varieties and the terroir of this small vineyard result in pinot noirs that are delicate and beautifully complex, with relatively low levels of alcohol.
Vineyard
The 3-acre Emmaline Ann Vineyard is a tiny gem. Located at an elevation of approximately 800 feet, with a southwest exposure, Emmaline generally gets more shade and fog than the other vineyards Cobb Wines works with. The pure Goldridge sandy loam soils are planted to two Dijon varieties (115 and 777). These plantings generally produce about two tons per acre.
Winemaking
Fruit is handpicked and fermented in small lots with a small portion of whole cluster. This wine is aged
22 months in French oak barrels (30% new oak). 225 cases produced.
Tasting Notes
“A brilliantly clear ruby red Pinot Noir, the 2016 Emmaline Ann offers aromas of pomegranate, wild strawberry, and tangerine zest with secondary notes of damp forest floor. On the palate, hints of wild Rainier cherries linger with brilliant structure and smooth tannins that are finely integrated. Currently sitting at the intersection of freshness and deep fruit intensity, it’s to be enjoyed in its youth and for many years to come.” – Ross Cobb
