RATINGS

92James Suckling

Aromas of baked strawberry, pitted red cherry and pine cone. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Succulent and vibrant on the palate, with a lot of pretty red fruit and berries. Subtle, savory undertones.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...up-front and fruit-forward...shows the house style with its peppery, medium-bodied, juicy, nicely structured style.

91Vinous / IWC

...gorgeous... Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cinnamon, orange peel and rose petal are all beautifully lifted in this transparent, expressive Pinot...

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
