This graceful wine presents a floral, fruity profile with contrasting earthy undertones. This youthful and pretty wine offers notes of sandalwood, black tea, and dried rose petals, along with savory spice and a dusting of cocoa. Silky and tightly knit tannins marry with bright acidity leading into a palate with layers of forest floor, dark berries and plum.
Merry Edwards Description
Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir displays a unique and specific regionality. This wine is distinctly coastal, with bright, buoyant acidity that sets it apart from wines made from our warmer sites. It is made to be enjoyed from the time of its release, either with food or as a lovely aperitif. Aromas of rose petals, ripe cherries, blueberries and sandalwood waft from the glass, accompanied by notes of vanilla, cinnamon and plum. The entry is smooth and ripe, with a slightly spicy mouthfeel that is elegant and balanced. This wine finishes long and light on its feet.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of seaweed and umami with bark and sea salt as well as strawberry. Medium body. Red berries on the palate. Savory and flavorful. Yet agile. Ready to go. Drink now.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Backed by singed anise and black tea accents, this bursts with mulberry and cherry notes. Offers a frankly toasty frame, but the fruit wins out easily. This will provide very tasty drinking in the near future.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Deeply colored and aromatically compelling, this Pinot gives waves of dark cherry, blackberry and black tea on the nose. The palate is rich and textured but juicy, with flavors of Bing cherry, cocoa powder and raspberry. A core of mouthwatering orange-peel acid holds down the finish.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2021 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a delight. Plump and forward, the 2021 offers up succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice and new leather. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together. Readers will find a bold Pinot that is ready to provide pleasure.
