RATINGS

93Jeb Dunnuck

Beautiful mulled red and black fruits, forest floor, spice, and exotic flower notes...medium-bodied and has a layered, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.

92Vinous / IWC

...bold, juicy and super-expressive. A burst of cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather and licorice wraps around the palate. Flamboyant and sumptuous, the Sun Chase offers tons of immediacy and appeal.

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.
