Winery Review: The microclimates of the Sonoma Coast AVA include the western portion of Carneros and the Petaluma Gap. The cool climate and low yield of these vineyards allow Pinot Noir grapes to mature slowly while retaining their natural acidity, resulting in a balanced wine with ripe flavors, silky texture and crisp acidity. Bright ruby color with aromas of cherry skin, dried cranberries smokey undertones. The palate shows more cherry and dried fruit flavors with earthy notes. Clean with a nice solid backbone completed by a racy acidity. Balanced and tight, an ideal accompaniment to grilled fish and fowl or barbecued meats.

My review: This is a glass corked wine bottle. The glow to his wine is a mild red but definitely a combination of red fruit and aged. It has cherry aromas to it. This wine is strong at first then its spicy and bitter. My second taste I can favor, cherry and raspberry but very dense. It is too acidic for me to drink. Great with red meat.
