RATINGS

97Robert M. Parker Jr.

...offers a wonderful nose of incense, Chinese black tea, white flowers, black raspberries and blackberries, some fried bacon, pepper and espresso.

95Wine Spectator

Wild berry and smoky bacon aromas open to complex, lingering details of blueberry, bittersweet chocolate and sandalwood.

95Vinous / IWC

Dark red cherry, plum, rose petal and violets are given an extra kick of aromatic lift from the 60% whole clusters.

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.
