Angelica Cellars' second vintage of Coquelicot is a winner. From the White Hawk Vineyard, this is a dark and brooding wine with sufficient concentration to warrant a serious look from the trade press. It displays its varietal characteristics nicely, with more ground pepper and spice than many blueberry-dominated Santa Barbara look alikes that receive 90+ scores. The tannins roughened up a bit after some aeration, but this has body and chewy fruit to round it out. Produced at the famous Crushpad in San Francisco.Friday, April 10, 2009
