The Doc's Ranch, as Ross explains, sits just on the other side of a ridgeline from the Coastlands Vineyard, it benefits from the southeastern exposure, and the coastal winds are buffetted by the ridgeline. A stunning wine. Aromatic elegance with notes of candied strawberries, and wintergreen. The palate is lithe and packed with verve. Bright red fruits mix with savoury notes, fine earthen minerality and lively acid.

Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch opens with pomegranate, rhubarb and raspberry preserves accented by tones of cinnamon, blood orange, dried sage, potpourri and bitters, offering more nuance with each return to the glass. The palate surprises with its sheer intensity of fruit, supported by ubiquitous, sandy tannins and seamless acidity, finishing long and spicy.

Sporting a jeweled ruby color, the 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch Vineyard offers terrific purity in its notes of framboise, fresh rosemary, and black pepper. Medium-bodied, it has a fantastically refined, graceful mineral texture, elegant tannins, and fresh acidity without being austere. This is an outstanding and graceful wine. Drink 2023-2038.

(94+ points) The 2019 Pinot Noir Doc's Ranch Vineyard is deeper and darker than most of the wines Ross Cobb makes from Coastlands. Black cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, incense and dried flowers meld together. This brooding, inward Pinot is quite the powerhouse. This really opens well with aeration, but I wouldn't plan on touching a bottle anytime soon.
