An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines
“The 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was aged for 10-17 months in 40% new French oak, 15% wood tanks and 6% concrete tanks. Medium ruby, it’s broodily scented with black cherries, underbrush, pencil shavings and dried tobacco leaves with notions of spice and red berry sparks. Light to medium-bodied and earthy in the mouth, it has a pleasantly chalky frame and great juicy freshness, finishing long.”
- Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate

POINTS
“As good as it gets. These wines reach the peak of my personal
scale of quality.”
“Moving to the two reds, the appellation
2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast reveals a
ruby/purple, translucent color as well as a
stunning perfume of black raspberries,
cassis, crushed violets, spice box, sweet
earth. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has
beautiful depth, a kiss of background oak,
and a great finish. Mostly destemmed and
aged 17 months in 40% new French oak,
it's a brilliant wine to drink over the coming
decade or more.”

POINTS
“Outstanding”
“Lots of the blue fruits and dried flowers
on the nose. Oyster shell too. Medium to
full body, linear and vibrant. Energetic.
Clean and intense finish. Drink or hold.”

POINTS
“Outstanding; a wine of superior character and style”
“Features a polished texture, with
concentrated cherry tart, currant and
raspberry flavors that are supported by
fresh tannins. The crisp, focused finish
reveals forest floor notes, accented by hints
of dried sage.”
