RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

...rush of super-ripe black cherry, tobacco, spice and new leather fleshes out in a creamy, supple Pinot... Silky tannins and voluptuous fruit add to the wine's considerable appeal... It is also flat-out gorgeous.

93Wine Enthusiast

Effusive black-cherry and raspberry aromas lead to more tightly wound rhubarb and red-cherry flavors in this attractively restrained, medium-bodied and fascinating wine that has the nervy energy to age well. It has a good sense of balance due to firm acidity and light tannins that keeps it refreshing sip after sip.

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.
