Wild coastal Pinot with pine-forest aromatics and mineral backbone.
Wild blackberry and raspberry leap from glass. Pine needles, warm cinnamon, wet earth follow. Cool-climate precision shows—tart red fruit, silky tannins, persistent finish. Floral lift adds elegance. Forest floor undertones. This vintage drinks beautifully now but will reward five years' patience. Sonoma Coast fog influence evident throughout.
