A juicy, open style, with breezy bitter plum and black cherry mixed with subtle dried anise and chaparral notes. The fruit gains some steam as it moves through the finish.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a dark transparent ruby hue and delivers resinous aromas of pine sap, black raspberry compote, and sassafras. This full-bodied Pinot Noir offers ample baked red cherry, loads of sweet spice, ripe tannins, and a supple texture. It is a solid, ripe style with a lot of charm to drink over the next several years.

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.
