The Character
Tasting Notes Deep, brooding, concentrated color with an exotic nose evocative of coriander, cinnamon, herbes de Provence, and cardamom. On the palate, the spice box mingles with fresh and dry fruit with red fruit undertones. Lush texture that is juxtaposed against crisp, cool climate acidity keeps everything lively and refreshing in the mouthfeel. Flavor characteristics include rhubarb, candied cinnamon, root beer, dark chocolate nuances, and freshly ground espresso. This is a thoroughly enjoyable expression of true Sonoma Coast from highly curated and complementary terroirs
Pairings Enjoy with coq au vin, rack of lamb, spiced pork tenderloin
The Story
The Sonoma Coast vineyard scene is bucolic, exhilarating, and showcases Pinot Noirs with effortless tannins and racy acidity. The maritime winds keep the region cool with minimal heat spikes and, in general, result in additional hangtime. The region’s indigenous yeast struggle through primary fermentation harnessing a coastal Pinot Noir that boasts fine texture and expressive aromatics similar to those found in Burgundy.
