2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

2023 Pinot Noir
92 Points
The 2023 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast pours a bright medium red hue and comes from the Seascape and Sealift vineyards. Lifted in the glass with ripe cranberries, fresh salty earth, orange zest, and fresh wildflowers, the palate is juicy and inviting, with a medium-bodied frame. It has a bit more of a linear feel without feeling austere and has a lovely, savory, spiced feel on the finish. Drink 2025-2032.
About This Wine
Leaning towards the cooler sites - Bloomfield, with dark fruit and energy; Seasacape, with crunchy fruit and soaring aromatics; and Sealift, on the Northern end near the town of Annapolis, is dark and brooding, with loads of richness and refined tannins. A blend of each is an intriguing and delicious example of "true" Sonoma Coast winegrowing.
