At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.
This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.
This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

Like the label suggest this was a very fun wine. Smelling strongly of herbs and green vegetables it had a very light and simple taste to it. Strong enough to hold up against aged Gouda and a spinach salad. Delicious and in my opinion a great value. — 5 years ago

Brilliant garnet color. Understated nose of cherry and raspberry with a hint of leather. Light tannins delicious red fruit and leather — 4 years ago
Surprisingly light colour but it sings in the glass. This seems to me to be low intervention winemaking - lots of sappy, honeyed red fruit and pure pleasure. Reasonably priced at $55, which seems to be what it costs in Ontario for a decent Pinot these days. — 6 years ago
