RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...mesmerizing beauty. Sweet floral notes, spice, blood orange and red/purplish berry fruit are some of the many notes that race through to the finish...exotically perfumed, silky and layered, with tremendous pedigree and breathtaking complexity. Powerful yet light on its feet, the Platt has so much to offer. It is a thrilling, alluring wine that will leave readers wanting more...total knock-out.

95Jeb Dunnuck

...textbook notes of ripe red and black fruits, pine forest, orange peel, and violets. Firm and focused on the palate, with good acidity and plenty of structure...

91The Wine Advocate

...pretty aromas of raspberries and Earl Grey tea leaves with touches of saline and graphite. The palate is delicate, juicy and perfumed with a gently grippy frame and 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.
