RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Exotic aromas of red berry preserves, spicecake, minerals and rose. Fleshy and seductively smooth in texture, with deep, gently sweet red and dark berry flavors and a late note of candied flowers. The spicy quality returns on the finish...

92+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

...copious aromas of kirsch, raspberry liqueur, plums, and earth. This spicy, medium to full-bodied, tightly-knit Pinot possesses impressive intensity, richness, acidity, and length.

92Wine Spectator

Smooth, with ripe, fleshy plum and blueberry fruit that's supple, focused, elegant and delicate, unfolding to reveal subtle flavor nuances.

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.
