$85.00
Growing Season 2019
The 2019 wine grape growing season was nearly perfect. A record-breaking winter rainfall and a cool spring initially threatened to delay the harvest. However, the summer brought ideal temperatures, allowing the grapes to fully mature, resulting in a bountiful crop with exceptional flavor and balance.
Tasting Notes
This wine exudes an enticing aroma of black cherry, cinnamon, orange rind, and vanilla. On the palate, vibrant flavors of cranberry, raspberry, and hibiscus take center stage. Firm tannins and a bright wave of fresh acidity lead to a fruit-forward, tangy finish. A beautifully expressive representation of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
