Stellar Sonoma Coast bottling marries ripe fruit with striking coastal minerality.
Gorgeous aromatics burst with boysenberry and dried strawberry. Forest floor earthiness weaves through dark fruit core. Rich mocha notes add depth without overwhelming. Sea spray minerality cuts through the richnessโpure Sonoma Coast character. Silky tannins frame concentrated fruit. Long finish reveals layers of spice and umami. This vintage hits peak drinking now but holds another decade easily. Textbook example of coastal Pinot's potential.
๐ท You crave Pinot with serious depth but appreciate elegant coastal refinement over power.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Wild mushroom risotto, Grilled salmon with herbs, Aged hard cheeses
