Natalie's Score: 92/100

This is the half bottle (375 ml) format of this wine. The full sized 750-ml is also in this release. Fleshy cherry and dark spice with a long, naughty finish. Medium-bodied and satin smooth like lingerie. A supple, smooth red wine with cherry-berry mouth-filling wonder and flavours. Just enough oak for hedonists. Layered yet not heavy. A consistently great producer of classic Californian pinot noir year after year. Love this silky Pinot Noir! It seems to get better every year. Beautiful cherries and field raspberry notes roll in first, then there's fresh earth aromas after a spring rain followed by some baking spices and a long finish. This pinot has been one of my favourites for years. Satin seduction in a glass.

Pinot Noir food pairings: seafood, coq au vin, beef, grilled salmon, lamb.

Reviews and Ratings

This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir grows its grapes in cool-climate vineyards near the Pacific Ocean. This medium-bodied wine is a blend of Pinot Noir clones fermented in open-top tanks and then matured in 26% new oak barrels, 98% of which are French for 6 months. - Community Wine Reviews
