RATINGS

95James Suckling

...nose shows Asian spices, loads of fresh and sauteed mushrooms, Bing cherries and redwood forest floor. On the palate it’s super juicy, with flavors of blood oranges, grapefruit rind, fresh raspberries and salinity. Medium-bodied.

91The Wine Advocate

...has pretty aromas of crushed blueberries, blackberries and cranberries with an undercurrent of fragrant earth and top notes of amaro...palate is light to medium-bodied, delicate and spicy with a grainy frame and great freshness, finishing long.

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.
