RATINGS

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

...offers lots of spice, roasted meats, underbrush and forest floor characteristics along with full-bodied richness, a deep, beautiful fruitiness, and a savory, round generosity.

Silky, palate-staining dark berry flavors show excellent clarity and power, turning spicier with aeration. Concentrated and lively pinot with pliant, harmonious tannins that add shape to the long, sweet finish...

92-94Vinous / IWC

Juicy, expressive and layered to the core, the 2012 is simply gorgeous today. Violets, cloves and menthol flesh out in the generous, resonant finish. The pure intensity of the Calera clone comes through beautifully.

17Jancis Robinson

Notes of creamy rose and meaty, savoury elements with conifer accents, this wine carries darker red fruit hinting at the potential to brood while still offering lots of energy and interest. Will continue to evolve with age.

PRODUCER

Radio-Coteau Vineyards

Radio-Coteau is a Sonoma County winery founded in 2002 by Eric Sussman. Though the winery is in Sebastopol, the estate sources grapes from several northern California appellations. Its name is a colloquial French term meaning “word of mouth” and Radio-Coteau has achieved a cult following for its small batch Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Zinfandel. Sussman, who is the winemaker, worked with producers in Burgundy, Washington and Northern California before forming a partnership with Bill and Joan Smith, owners of W.H. Smith Wines, to start Radio-Coteau.. Reviewers have given Radio-Coteau wines high compliments and the wines are generally available primarily through the estate’s mailing list.

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.
