2021 Marine Layer ‘Lyra’ Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

JD94 Medium red in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Lyra is the estate’s Sonoma Coast blend and is about an 800-case production. It’s juicy and bright on the nose, with aromas of bright red cherries, cinnamon candies, fresh roses, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins, it stays refreshing and is approachable now, and it’s going to hold on with ease over the next 7-8 years. A phenomenal value.
VIN92 The 2022 Pinot Noir Lyra is juicy and super- expressive right out of the gate. Succulent red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and blood orange give the 2022 notable raciness. A whole range of floral and savory top notes lift the finish. The 30% stems are not especially noticeable. Vineyard sources are Marine Layer, Dutton-Jentoft, Bohemian and Gap’s Crown.
