Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023 750ml

Flowers Vineyards & Winery was founded in 1991 by Walt and Joan Flowers on the far Sonoma Coast, north of Jenner. It is now part of the Huneeus family's group of estates, alongside Quintessa and Faust.

The estate vineyards are Camp Meeting Ridge, planted in 1991 about two miles from the ocean at around 1,500 feet, and Sea View Ridge, planted in 1998, both farmed organically and biodynamically. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeast, and Wine Advocate reports the 2023 spent 10 months in French oak, 20% of it new.

The winemaker describes moist forest canopy, minerals, herbs and tamari, with juicy red raspberry, tart plum and a chalky texture. Wine Spectator calls it fresh and focused, and Vinous finds it bright, aromatic and lifted.

Against Merryvale Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2023, Flowers is estate-grown on ridgetop vineyards near the ocean; for organic, biodynamic coastal Pinot, choose Flowers.

Jeb Dunnuck suggests drinking it over the coming 8 to 10 years. Serve it with duck breast, salmon or mushroom dishes.
