The Character

Overall Elegant & expressive
Aromas Wild strawberry, pomegranate, bay laurel, blood orange zest, rose petal
Mouthfeel Lively & mouthwatering
Tasting Notes Opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and coastal bay laurel, layered with hints of blood orange zest and rose petal. On the palate, bright red cherry and raspberry are energized by the vintage’s hallmark acidity, giving the wine a lively, mouthwatering tension. Sleek tannins and a spine of minerality drive the wine to a clean, persistent finish. Elegant and expressive, this Pinot Noir captures the purity and precision of a cool-climate vintage and the rugged beauty of the Sonoma Coast.

The Story

Sea Slopes Pinot Noir is inspired by the majestic Sonoma Coast and the steep rugged ridges perched at the golden edge of the continent. Here, the cool maritime climate produces fruit of exceptional quality and allows us to craft wines of great elegance and purity. “We aim to capture the essence of the Coast. These wines are at once approachable, balanced and eminently worthy of the quality standards we have established with Fort Ross” - Owner, Lester Schwartz

About Sea Slopes

Producer Story

The coastal mountain ranges are home to some of the most renowned cool climate wines emanating from California. These mountain ranges span two-thirds of the state of California from the northern redwood coast to Santa Barbara in the south.

In 2015, Fort Ross Vineyard expanded their wine lineup with the introduction of a new self-standing brand called Sea Slopes. Originally, “Sea Slopes” referred to a popular, limited-production barrel blend of Pinot Noir from Fort Ross first bottled in 2004. Due to the high demand and popularity of the original blend, Lester and Linda decided to create a dedicated Sea Slopes brand, producing a softer, more approachable, fruit-forward wine that could be enjoyed young without the need for cellaring.
