RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Sweet cherry, plum, dried herbs, mint, licorice and rose petal all run through this nuanced, beautifully layered, savory red.

92The Wine Advocate

...lovely, savory nose of baked cranberry, wild blackberry, cracked pepper and jamon di Iberico with underbrush, dried herbs, orange peel and warm, dusty earth...palate is light to medium-bodied, with an intense, savory fruit core segueing to spicy layers, textured by grainy tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and savory. Delicious!

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.
