RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

This is a light, delicate and expertly balanced wine, with nuanced layers of baking spice, forest and crunchy red fruit. Its cool- climate provenance contributes fresh, persistent acidity and ongoing freshness and savory components, with a touch of blueberry on the finish.

93Vinous / IWC

...wonderfully deep and fleshy. Rose petal, spice, sage and mint lead into a core of bright red/purplish berry fruit.

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.
