James Suckling Review
Rated 91
Aromas of mulberries, dried cranberries, dried flowers, vanilla and chocolate orange. It's medium- o full-bodied with tight-grained tannins. Sleek and focused with a more mineral, chalky finish. Drink or hold.
Wine Tasting Notes
The microclimates of the Sonoma Coast AVA include the western portion of Carneros and the Petaluma Gap. The cool climate and low yield of these vineyards allow Pinot Noir grapes to mature slowly while retaining their natural acidity, resulting in a balanced wine with ripe flavors, silky texture and crisp acidity. Aged primarily in large oak casks and "neutral" older barrels, this wine exhibits flavors of cherries, strawberries and spice, with a lively finish that is an ideal accompaniment to grilled fish and fowl or barbecued meats.
