RATINGS

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

Alluring notes of red roses, cinnamon, fragrant earth and dried leaves with a core of raspberry coulis, kirsch and lavender... light to medium-bodied, very fine, delicate and provocative, with silken tannins and seamless freshness

90Vinous / IWC

Bright and energetic, with plenty of red berry, chalk and blood orange notes. Medium in body and nicely focused, the 2016 has quite a bit to offer. Readers should expect a nervous, somewhat taut style.

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.
