Folie a Deux Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2017 Review

Cherry fruit, check. Slight hints of vanilla, check. Raspberry wrapped in white chocolate with a dose of earth, check. I don't think this wine will change in flavor or character with the next vintage and that's on purpose; yet I don't not like it. It hits all the right notes and with good acidity to boot. If you ever need a wine for a dinner party or to wind down after work, this is your bottle. And even though the next vintage will taste the same, this Pinot will oddly still be on-point.
