RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...deeply scented of cranberries, black cherries, bergamot and forest floor, opening to alluringly broody pipe tobacco and mushroom with time in the glass...palate is flush with spiced, dark fruits supported by silty tannins, and it finishes with ethereal lift and very pretty layering.

95Vinous / IWC

Rich and explosive...flat-out stunning. Ripe red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and rose petals all race out of the glass...fabulous mid-palate sweetness and striking texture.

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.
