Elegant in style, with notes of gently warmed strawberry puree, cherry preserves and red licorice infused with rose hip and sandalwood on the charming finish.

Aromas of baked cherry, dark cocoa, roasted coffee and violets waft from the glass on the nose of this Pinot Noir. The palate brings punchy red fruit, cinnamon and caramel flavors, which evolve into darker spiced flavors as the finish lingers.

Pouring a youthful red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has a floral and spicy bouquet that slowly opens in the glass, with notes of pine, cranberries, pressed flowers, and baking spice. It’s a charming and fruity red with a medium-bodied frame and a clean finish.

90pts Tasting Panel

Sub-$30 Sonoma Coast Pinot is a difficult trick to pull off, but this sweetly spiced, plush red with abundant notes of brambly berries, red and black cherries, tilled earth, humidor; and cracked peppercorns proves it's possible to do—and with style.

Wine maker Notes

Pinot Noir is a classic choice for any occasion and goes with almost everything. Alluring aromas of wild plums and cloves mingle with flavors of vivid red cherries, spices, earthy notes and vanilla.

Pairs well with grilled salmon topped with mango salsa, Mediterranean platter complete with grilled eggplant, peppers, hummus, cucumbers, marinated artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, figs, feta cheese and pita bread
