RATINGS

93Stephen Tanzer

Compelling nose offers black cherry, black raspberry, bacon fat, smoked meat and white pepper... Finishes very long and brisk, with a suggestion of candied fruit, serious but ripe tannins, and lovely smoky persistence.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...stacked with deep mineral-drenched blackberry fruits, smoked plums, violets, pepper, and chocolate on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a fresh, pure texture, fine tannin, and building richness that really comes through on the finish...

91Wine Spectator

...firm mineral, dried berry, sage, cedar and black licorice flavors. Full-bodied and well-proportioned, gaining depth and nuance on the finish.

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, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
