2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

These grapes were hand-harvested at the Durell, Flocchini, and Sasaki vineyards. The fruit was fermented in an open top tank and barrel aged for 13 months before bottling. 

The 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir greets the nose with bright red cherry, raspberry coulis, and cranberry, layered with rose petal, dried orange peel, and a faint whiff of forest floor. On the palate it’s elegant and lively—light to medium-bodied with supple, fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavors of wild strawberry, tart cherry, and baking spices evolve into savory notes of mushroom and coastal brine on the finish, which is clean and persistent.

Vineyard & winemaking: coastal sites and cool maritime influence deliver aromatic lift and crunchy acidity; gentle handling, native or inoculated yeast fermentation, and aging in predominantly neutral French oak preserve fruit clarity and terroir expression.
