RATINGS

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

...With superb fruit, full body, admirable richness and acidity, and a fleshy, long mouthfeel, this stunning Pinot is just becoming approachable and drinkable. It should last for 10-15 years...

94Stephen Tanzer

Smoky, wild aromas of raspberry, game and underbrush. Fat, sweet and round, with a fine-grained texture and a rich smoky character. This boasts excellent density. Finishes very long, with a light dusting of sweet tannins.

93Wine Spectator

Supple, graceful and polished, with ripe plum, black cherry, smoky, toasty oak and subtle mineral and herbal scents that turn delicate and spicy, ending with a rich lift of the berry fruit and firm but integrated tannins...

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.
