Sonoma Coast perfection - bright fruit meets wild mushroom earthiness flawlessly.
Cranberry brightness jumps first. Blood orange acidity cuts clean. Forest floor emerges - wet leaves, wild mushrooms. Black tea tannins grip without harshness. Licorice root adds mysterious depth on finish. This 2012 drinks beautifully now but has years ahead. Sonoma Coast fog influence clear in the wine's cool-climate tension. Textbook example of coastal Pinot's elegance versus inland power.
🍷 You want Burgundian elegance without the French price tag and love earthy complexity.
Pairs with: duck breast with cherry reduction, wild mushroom risotto, herb-crusted salmon, aged goat cheese
