What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Winemakers Notes

"This wine has a beautiful medium to dark garnetcolor with dried cherry, strawberry compote, vanilla and mochaaromatics. The flavor is balanced between juicy, cherry like fruit andtoasted oak. This Pinot has finesse and finishes with lively acidity,firm tannins and well-integrated oak. It is the most Burgundian SonomaCoast Pinot Noir we have made to date, with excellent aging potential." - Winemaker NotesCheese Pairings: Camembert, Feta, GruyereFood Pairings: Poached Salmon, Beef Stew, Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna

This is a very non-memorable pinot noir, it has no distinguishing tastes or aroma. I will never buy another bottle of it, it was not bad but it was not great either.

Strong cherry notes with a toasted oak finish. Velvety body. Excellent compliment to pasta, beef stew or even chili. While it isn't multi faceted in flavor it is an excellent example of a California Pinot Noir. We bought ours from the Wall Street Journal wine club so it was a great value as well.

This wine has a jammy cherry aroma infused with a slight toast. The flavor is full of bright cherries and is very soft in texture. It is an up-front, forward-style of Pinot Noir that is deliciously drinkable with only the slightest amount of oak seasoning to accent its luscious, deeply cherry-fruited characteristics. Very dense up front, with delectable aromas of plum cake, black cherry and vanilla. The palate is not enormous, but it's big enough to satisfy any lover of modern-style Pinot Noir. If there's a fault here, it's a buttery note to the finish. -Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Wine Values of 2002
