Transcendent Pinot that captures Sonoma Coast's wild mineral soul perfectly.
Blood orange brightness opens. Lavender weaves through red fruit core. Crushed stone minerality anchors everything—pure Sonoma Coast character. Wild herbs add complexity. Iron backbone provides structure without overwhelming delicate fruit. Silky texture belies serious tannins underneath. Long finish echoes stone and spice. This 2012 hits peak drinking now but will reward patience. Textbook cool-climate Pinot with singular personality.
🍷 You want to understand why Sonoma Coast produces California's most terroir-driven Pinots.
Pairs with: duck breast with juniper, wild mushroom risotto, herb-crusted lamb, aged Gruyère
