Always true to its feminine name, the 2018 Emmaline Ann Pinot Noir is a textbook showing of the most understated and seductive wine in the Cobb roster. The nose is filled with both fresh and dried flowers, sewn together with its classic pomegranate and bing cherry fruit profile. The palate is long and clean with a touch more zing than I have found in past vintages. A refreshing note of tangerine zest carries the finish beautifully. Drinking Window 2021 - 2038. ...

The 2018 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1998 and is usually made with a higher proportion of whole cluster than other wines in the Cobb portfolio, around 40% to 60% depending on vintage. Pale, vibrant ruby in color, its scents of ripe cranberries and blood orange peel are pure and intense, with tones of earth and Angostura bitters. The palate is grainy and fresh with full, spicy flavors and a long, layered finish. It's a very pure, detailed expression of Emmaline Ann.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Emmaline-Ann Vineyard is bright and effusive, with striking aromatic presence to match its gracious, mid-weight personality. There is a feeling of transparency in the 2018 that is utterly beguiling. Crushed red berry, orange zest, white pepper and crushed rocks are all finely delineated. A healthy dollop of whole clusters (40%) adds a brilliant upper register.

From a vineyard is situated roughly 700 feet elevation on a west-facing, cool site. the 2018 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard is ripe with wild strawberry, cinnamon spice, pine, and wet stone. The palate is fresh with crunchy red fruit, pomegranate, forest floor and tea leaf. The palate is medium-bodied and ripe up front, with fine tannins and fresh acid.
Winery
Graceful and thought-provoking, this wine seems to reflect the surroundings of Emmaline Ann Vineyard, with notes of raspberry and cherry fruit, secondary aromas of redwood forest, sweet sage, wild cherry and mushrooms, as well as a hint of ruby red grapefruit. On the palate, zesty orange and tart pomegranate notes are underscored by a racy acidity that carries the red berry flavors to an elegant finish.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Region: California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
