RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Boasts enticing mulled blackberry and black cherry notes, which are laced liberally with wood spice and singed anise. Features a filigreed minerality running underneath, but fleshes out through the finish, providing a flattering edge without losing definition. A character-filled wine.

94Vinous / IWC

Creamy, ample and so expressive... Soft contours and striking mid-palate presence...

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.
