The weather in 2018 was spectacular, making this another exceptionally fine vintage for Sonoma County. A near record long growing season, with plenty of cool days, punctuated with sunny and warm patches allowed flavor and textures to mature fully. Crop levels were above average, with many sited producing the best crops in years. The acidity levels are higher than normal, with perfectly ripened fruit. Though the year was cool, the fruit was very clean and high quality. A vintage to remember!

This 2018 Pinot Noir exhibits aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, strawberry and spice. The Sonoma Coast delivers generous black cherry, wild raspberry, blueberry and earthy minerality. Elegant, balanced, lush and focused. Mouthful is ample and plush gaining depth with a lingering velvety finish.
