RATINGS

93Robert M. Parker Jr.

Sweet black cherry and raspberry fruit intermixed with notions of sassafras, forest floor, and flowers emerge from this rich, full-bodied, powerful wine.

93Wine Spectator

Delicious Pinot Noir, smooth and creamy, with rich, fleshy spice, black cherry, spice, raspberry and creamy oak, ending with a burst of blueberry, anise and sage. Shows a hint of nutmeg from oak on the finish.

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Cooler aromas of black cherry, peat and earth, with an enticing violet topnote.

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.
