RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

Bright and citrus driven, this estate wine is velvety in texture and plush yet structured. Blackberry, black cherry and wild raspberry notes are rich and complex, met with hints of violet, dried herb and nicely integrated oak.

94Wine Spectator

Big, rich and well-spiced, with a concentrated core of red currant, cherry and plum flavors backed by fresh acidity and firm tannins. Minerally in the midpalate, with a finish offering slate and hints of peppercorn.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...rich aromas of smoky cedar, five spice, and baked raspberry. The palate is soft, with ripe up-front fruit of red cherry and dusty earth, followed by orange peel citrus on the finish.

16Jancis Robinson

Warm very ripe black cherries, oozing sticky ripe juice, vanilla, toasted seaweed, sesame seeds, savoury, ripe, full-bodied, mouth-watering.

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.
