Sonoma County Pinot Noir
Sonoma County, California, USA
Bright Ruby, complex dark berry fruit aromas and earthy floral spice. On the palate cherry, raspberry & strawberry flavors with citrus notes, black pepper with a nutty character. On the finish toasty oak notes, notes of wet stone on firm tannins, well balanced ending with a pepper spice edge. Consistent quality year after year! A good value Pinot as retail is around $30, rivals some $50 bottles. Grab a bottle and enjoy.

May 9th, 2017The winery is hidden amid the redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Bright ruby with complex red and black fruit aromas and pepper spice. The palate shows cherry, raspberry and red plums with generous hit of spices, pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish develops some toasty notes, minerality on full round tannins, well balanced with a smooth ending. A good value.

Mar 27th, 2017I notice a bright ruby red color and complex red fruit aromas with sweet spice. The palate shows full ripe cherries, red raspberries and red plums with generous hit of spices, pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish develops some toasty notes, minerality and round tannins, well balanced with a smooth ending. I tried their 2011 Sonoma Coast last year and the 2012 got better, if you can believe that! A good value Pinot as retail is around $30, rivals some $50 bottles.
