RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...loaded with notions of blue fruits, iron, ground pepper, and tons of obvious minerality. It’s deep, medium to full-bodied, has building structure, and a great finish.

94The Wine Advocate

...very pretty nose of gravel dust, violets, coffee bean and bitter chocolate with warm black cherries, blackcurrant, potting soil, blueberry and boysenberry plus notes of fried savory herbs. Full-bodied and very intensely flavored with gobs of warm chocolate nuance, it has a firm frame of very ripe, pixelated tannins and great freshness, with a very long, evolving finish.

93Wine Spectator

Brooding yet dynamic, with refined blueberry, rose petal, licorice and smoked pepper flavors that gather richness and polish toward fine-grained tannins.

92Vinous / IWC

...dense, powerful and super-concentrated. Small berries with thick skins and relatively little juice yielded a Syrah with serious intensity and richness...

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.
