RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Dynamic and expressive, with impressively layered raspberry and huckleberry flavors that are laced with garrigue and peppered beef and build tension toward refined tannins.

94Vinous / IWC

94+ Jeb Dunnuck

...meaty, smoky, dense bouquet of peppery dark fruits, bouquet garni, violets, and damp earth...medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, beautiful purity, and a great finish.

93The Wine Advocate

...cassis and macerated blue fruits with touches of dried herbs and milk chocolate. The palate is surprisingly fresh and silky, its juicy fruits lifting ethereally from the palate on the long finish.

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.
