Maritime-kissed Pinot with stunning boysenberry depth and coastal minerality.

Captivating boysenberry and dried strawberry aromatics. Forest floor earthiness anchors the fruit with mocha undertones threading throughout. Coastal influence brings saline mineralityโ€”that distinctive sea spray character. Silky texture carries intense berry concentration without heaviness. Tannins integrate seamlessly. Finish extends with persistent dark fruit and subtle brine. This vintage captures Sonoma Coast's fog-cooled essence perfectly. Cellar through 2028 for full development.
