RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

Compost earthiness underlies a juicy, expansive and richly layered palate of fruit and spice that lingers expertly on the finish. Polished tannins support crisp strawberry and red cherry flavors that are adorned with cardamom and orange zest.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...scented of red and black currants, black cherries and dried leaves with touches of bay leaves, truffles and damp soil. It fills the medium to full-bodied palate with earthy red and black fruits framed by fine-grained tannins and background freshness, finishing long.

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.
