This elegant and balanced Pinot Noir is a celebration of the coastal terroir, expressing vibrant, nuanced flavors with a sophisticated touch.

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll be greeted by delicate aromas of wild strawberries, black cherries, and a hint of crushed rose petals, layered with earthy undertones of forest floor and subtle spice. The palate is refined and vibrant, with flavors of juicy red berries, cranberry, and pomegranate, beautifully intertwined with notes of clove, sage, and a whisper of coastal salinity. Silky tannins and lively acidity offer a graceful, lingering finish.

Winemaking:
The 2022 vintage showcases the art of minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the true expression of Sonoma’s coastal vineyards to shine. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeast, ensuring a wine that is as pure as it is expressive. Aged in French oak, the careful integration of the oak adds subtle structure and complexity without overpowering the delicate fruit profile.

Food Pairing:
Perfectly paired with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or wild mushroom risotto, this Pinot Noir enhances both delicate and bold flavors, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

"A fresh yet structured pinot with dried strawberry, orange peel and light caramel with dried stems. Medium body, flavorful, firm and bright at the end. Savory."

Wine Enthusiast

"Aromas of sweet berries, cherry liqueur and cola dominate the nose of this Pinot, while the palate is loaded with cedar cigar box, coffee and maraschino cherry. The combination of freshness and grip feels very alluring, but it might need a few years to round into form."

Jeb Dunnuck

"Ripe ruby/red in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is ripe and spicy, with aromas of cherries, cinnamon, beet root, and incense. Medium-bodied, it has a weightless feel, a chalky, fine-grained texture, and a spicy finish with notes of gravelly earth."

Decanter

"Delicious, fresh, and savoury, this juicy Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast has violet and smoky flint aromatics buoyed by fresh red berries and a kiss of fresh mint. The palate is reflective, with flinty minerality coming to the fore. Pine sap, notes of fresh evergreen and lovely red fruits, clove and white peppery spice to finish."
