Enjoy these three (3) bottles from the Sonoma Coast:

• Merry Edwards 2020 Pinot Noir
• Paul Hobbs 2022 Pinot Noir
• 2014 Cobb Jack Hill Pinot Noir

Merry Edwards 2020 Pinot: The 2020 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is ripe with raspberry candy, crushed rose petal, and turned earth. The tannins in the 2020 are a touch more present and emerge on the finish, and it also has more warmth. Drink this over the next 10 years.

Paul Hobbs 2022 Pinot Noir: 97 Points (Tasting Panel) A rush of sugared beet, pomegranate, and vanilla-soaked raspberry mingles with a touch of salinity on entry, while a soil component reflects the super-cool climate of the appellation. Power and elegance coexist in this red, which finishes with graphite, peony, basil, and exotic incense.

2014 Cobb Jack Hill Pinot Noir: 94 Points- Vinous- The highlight in this set of wines, Cobb's 2014 Pinot Noir Jack Hill is vivid, nuanced and finely sketched, with all the elements in the right place. Nothing in particular stands out, instead, it is the wine's balance that speaks with great eloquence. Lifted, precise and focused, the 2014 offers striking interplay of fruit, acid and structure. The reductive character that is often present in these wines is nowhere to be found in the Jack Hill. In my view, that is a good thing. This is a gorgeous wine from Ross Cobb. The 2014 was done with 40% whole clusters. This is a striking set of wines from Ross Cobb. At a time when so many winemakers follow trends, Cobb is one of the few who has the courage to follow his own convictions. Cobb gives his wines more time in the barrel than is the norm. The wines are generally made with a high percentage of whole clusters, fermented with native yeasts and handled minimally in the cellar.
