Wild strawberry meets truffle earthiness in this mineral-driven coastal Pinot.
Wild strawberry bursts forward. Rose petals, dried herbs follow. Truffle earthiness emerges mid-palate. Chalk minerality cuts through. Silky texture. Precise acidity lifts everything. Complex herbal finish lingers. This 2012 hits peak drinking now but holds another decade easily. Classic cool-climate expression. Elegant restraint over power. Pure Sonoma Coast character.
