RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...powerfully perfumed...inviting in lavender and rose petal, with a lasting impression of cardamom spice. It feels dense and rich within a context of balanced acidity and stemmy earthiness that lingers long on the finish.

92+ The Wine Advocate

...wonderfully open, savory nose of charcuterie and earth with concentrated warm black cherries, black berries and blueberries plus notes of nutmeg and allspice...light to medium-bodied with concentrated spicy black fruits, firm, ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness to counter the long, savory finish.

91Vinous / IWC

...laced with the essence of dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and licorice. Medium-bodied and also a bit mysterious...

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.
