Coastal Pinot with serious backbone and haunting mineral finish.
Boysenberry and dried strawberry emerge immediately. Forest floor adds earthy complexity. Mocha notes weave through mid-palate. Sea spray minerality defines the finish—signature coastal terroir. Structured tannins suggest decade-plus aging potential. This vintage shows remarkable concentration without losing elegance. Pacific influence unmistakable.
