Celebrating the cool-climate character and complexity of California’s most revered winegrowing regions, our Appellation Series wines are a study in terroir with soulful elegance and energetic intensity. The Sonoma Coast appellation overlaps with that of the 
Russian River Valley in many places and is similarly shaped by the ocean.

Local geology can be complex here, a direct result of being located at the intersection of two tectonic plates. 

The vineyards we source from lie in both the southern portion of the appellation and in the northern true coastal zone. Together, they form a singular wine that is distinctively Sonoma Coast with deep flavors, rich texture, and savory spice characteristics. To showcase the terrific vintage and the purity of each site, we used a balanced selection of fermentation vessels. The resulting Pinot Noir has enticing energy with pristine dark fruit, dimension, and a long, driving finish

JS94 James Suckling

Dried strawberry and wet earth with some ash and bark character. Medium to fully body. Cloves and other spices. Sichuan. Dried seaweed. Iodine. Flavorful finish.

WS93 Wine Spectator

A lush, ripe style, with creamed plum and raspberry puree gliding through easily, flanked by lightly singed anise and mesquite. Shows a suave brushstroke of black tea on the finish. For the fruit bomb crowd. Drink now

JD93 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2020 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is lifted with cedar, red cherry, and pine. The palate fills with grenadine and orange peel, soft, stony earth, and a silky texture.

RP92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2020 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is medium ruby in color and delicately scented of cranberries, blackberries, crushed stone, tea leaves and bitters. The light-bodied palate features bright, earth-laced fruits, a silky texture and an uplifted, spicy finish.
