RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Explosive blackberry, boysenberry and candied cherry scents are pure and luscious, with no funky notes getting in the way. Broad, deep and velvety, with powerful dark berry liqueur flavors and very soft tannins adding gentle support.

91-93Robert M. Parker Jr.

Deep, full-bodied, and inky, with notes of graphite, blackberry liqueur, acacia flowers, and crushed rocks.

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.
