Wild coastal Pinot. Pure silk meets rocky minerality.
Wild strawberry bursts forward. Rose petals, dried herbs follow. Truffle earthiness builds complexity. Chalky minerality cuts through mid-palate. Silky texture belies serious structure underneath. Coastal fog influence clear - restraint with intensity. Tannins fine-grained, persistent. Finish lingers with spice, stone. This vintage hits peak drinking now but holds decade easy. Classic Sonoma Coast character - elegant yet profound.
🍷 You crave Burgundian elegance with California sunshine and have patience for complexity to unfold.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Mushroom risotto with truffle oil, Herb-crusted lamb, Aged goat cheese
