RATINGS

97Wine Enthusiast

This coastal wine is lifted and fresh, with verve and energy. Strawberry, citrus and dried herb accent a lengthy, structured and bright experience of supple texture and tannin, with the valued intensity cool-climate conditions can bring.

93Wine Spectator

Packs a brambly aroma with the flavors to match, delivering a ripe core of concentrated dark cherry and berry notes that are rich and brooding. Creamy in the midpalate, with a finish that echoes with toasty notes and spice.

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.
