title: Azari 2009 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
description: At nearly four years of age, this Pinot is in an awkward phase. Tasted in March, it was dry, tannic and oaky, with powerful red fruit and mocha flavors. There's a distinctly funky, animal note that lends interest. Hold until 2015 or so.
variety: Pinot Noir
