Tasting notes
The 2022 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast has a gorgeous perfume of wild raspberries, fresh flowers, anise, and fresh forest herbs. Medium-bodied, with a lovely structure, it’s long on the palate and has a fresh feel throughout. It’s a beautiful wine, and I would be thrilled to have a case sitting in my cellar for the next several years. Drink 2024-2036.

Lots of pretty ripe strawberries and cherries with hints of cedar and spices. It’s medium- to full-bodied with hints of dried fruit and a juicy finish. Moss and oyster undertones. Drink or hold.
The 2022 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast is bursting with pomegranate and briar fruit, and it has loads of fine accents including allspice, licorice, sagebrush, tea leaves and blood orange. The light-bodied palate features nuanced, layered fruit. It has gently chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long finish laced with spice. This boasts a lot of complexity for such a lifted, ethereal frame. 1,600 cases were produced, and it will be released in March of 2024.
