Earthy mint, sage and lavender make for a heady, aromatic introduction to this wine, which continues to impress on the palate in its delicate layering of strawberry and fresh focused acidity. Balanced and light in style...

An exuberantly spicy and broad-ranging nose combines notes of cool red cherry, raspberry and currant with those of plum and soft floral influences...juicy and energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess a lovely mouth feel thanks to the moderately firm fine-grained tannins shaping the clean, focused and solidly complex 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, 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.
