RATINGS

92James Suckling

Lots of strawberry and cherry aromas with hints of bark and wet earth. Full body, chewy tannins and a savory finish. Black pepper undertone.

91+ The Wine Advocate

...wonderful intensity of crushed red currants and cranberry scents with hints of underbrush, lavender and mossy bark. Medium to full-bodied and packed with vibrant red berry and earth-inspired flavors...solid backbone of fine tannins and great length.

91Wine Enthusiast

Sizable tannins and oak make for a full-bodied experience... With patience, it unpeels layers of soft, floral aromas and quiet notions of raspberry and strawberry.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...big, flamboyant nose of black cherries, sassafras, flowers, and spice. Forward, charming, medium-bodied, and supple, yet with fine underlying tannin and ample length...

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.
