RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

Beautifully composed and complete, this well-balanced wine matches powerful red and black fruits to firm tannins while backed by good acidity and a full body.

93Wine Spectator

Offers a nice burst of raspberry and boysenberry coulis flavors inlaid with red tea, anise and chaparral, all backed by a nice tug of briar on the finish. Very expressive and open, but no rush either, as this has good underlying structure.

93James Suckling

An opulent, energetic and delicious wine with aromas of honeydew melon, Bosc pears, basil and a bit of tangerine zest. The palate is rich but structured, with acidity and a frame of untoasted oak. Flavors of tart pears, citrus and lemon verbena. There is a steely core of acidity supporting this full-bodied, mouth-filling wine.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Blackberry and black cherry on the nose. Rounded, chewy tannin on the palate and ripe fruit with cinnamon and nutmeg spice. Spicy, warming finish.

PRODUCER

Lynmar Estate

Lynmar Estate is owned by Lynn and Anisya Fritz. Lynn Fritz bought Quail Hill Vineyard in 1980 and added acreage over the years. The vineyards are planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay exclusively, and Pete Soergel is winemaker.

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.
