RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Rich and refined, with a luscious creaminess to the cherry pastry, plum tart and dried currant flavors, featuring alluring notes of dried persimmon. The endless finish caresses the palate with spicy richness.

91Wine Enthusiast

Juicy red fruit dominates in this powerhouse red... A confectionery note of vanilla softens the toasted oak and substantial tannin as rocky mineral components give the fruit a savory edge of complexity and lingering texture.

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.
