95The Wine Advocate

...with exceptional energy and minerality. Savory herbs, graphite, black cherries, exotic spices and camphor are all woven together in an intricate fabric of notable class and elegance. Dark, plush and seductive through to the finish...

93Vinous / IWC

Deep, mineral-accented aromas of blackberry, raspberry, cherry and violet, with exotic clove and cinnamon nuances. Supple and velvety in the mouth, offering sappy flavors of black raspberry, cherry compote, candied violet, blood orange.

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, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
