RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...detailed scents of cranberry sauce, tea leaves, rosewater, mossy bark and woodsmoke. The light-bodied palate is detailed and layered and strikes a fine balance of juicy fruit and earthy nuance. It has a silky texture, refreshing acidity and a long, earthy finish.

93Wine Spectator

Shows steeped red cherry and damson plum notes that form a juicy, coiled-up core, while marjoram, red tea and savory accents fill in the background and meld nicely through the finish.

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.
