RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Dark cherry, plum, mint, rose petal and lavender form a gorgeous counterpoint...rich, deep and also wonderfully translucent... Bright saline notes punctuate the driving finish.

...savory, earthy and truly expressive site, evocative of its high-elevation coastal site. Black tea, forest floor and quenching acidity support citrus overtones that complement the wild strawberry and raspberry at its elegant core, with a wealth of well-integrated finishing tannin.

90The Wine Advocate

...aromas of red berries, dried flowers and earthy nuances. The palate is light-bodied, soft and earthy with a gently spicy finish.

PRODUCER

Flowers

Flowers Vineyard & Winery is a 321-acre estate on a ridge on the northern Sonoma Coast. It was established in 1989 when Walt and Joan Flowers purchased the land. The Flowers had owned a nursery in Pennsylvania, but had long wanted to combine their love of agriculture with their interest in winemaking. The estate makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay only, using organic and sustainable farming practices. Wine reviewers have given the wines high compliments. Matt Kramer of Wine Spectator has written that Flowers wines are among a small group of U.S. Pinot Noirs that are approaching Burgundian Grand Cru-like quality.

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.
