96pts Decanter

Delightful, extra juicy red and black fruits give graciously and generously with a mouth-filling texture and soft, silky tannins. The coolness of the Sonoma Coast takes the salty sea air and places it squarely on the grapes to give this wine a lovely saline finish. The great structural envelope will protect this wine for the future. It will last and last.

Fresh and lively, offering a delightful stream of raspberry and mulberry coulis flecked with a mouthwatering savory edge through the pure, pinpoint finish. Textbook vintage and AVA profile. Drink now through 2031.

92pts Jeb Dunnuck

A deep red/ruby color with a light haze, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is ripe and spicy on the nose with notes of black raspberries and some blue fruit coming through, as well as violets, pepper, and toasted cedar. Medium-bodied, it fills and expands on the palate with ripe tannins and a long, ripe finish. It has good saturation on the palate, but it doesn't feel heavy. It's a very solid entry to drink over the next 5 years.

90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has gregarious aromas of red and black cherries, mint, forest floor and allspice. The medium-bodied palate features generous, spicy fruit structured by grainy tannins and juicy acidity, and it has an easygoing finish.

Winemaker Notes

Sixteen small, independent family-owned vineyard sites come together in this gorgeous display of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This blend displays classic coastal traits of lively fruit graced with alluring floral and spice notes. Complex and inviting aromas of red fruits include Morello cherry and wild strawberry. A warm spice mix of cinnamon, clove, anise and coriander accompanies subtle notes of forest floor and pink flowers. The palate is full and finishes with good purity, supported by refined tannins and fresh acidity. The 2019 is a lovely expression, capturing the elegance and purity that are hallmarks of Pinot Noir at its best.
