The Sonoma Coast is one of the most premier regions in the world to grow Pinot Noir, and this vintage captures the essence of the region perfectly. Aromatics of black cherry, blackberry pie, and raspberry lead to a lush palate, characterized by strawberry, soft tannins, and balanced acidity. Concentrated and flavorful with elegance and finesse, this wine is true to the Pinot Noir varietal.
