4 | Wine | Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast

"This vintage opens with bright aromas of Meyer lemon and yellow apple, punctuated by hints of butterscotch and subtle floral notes. The palate adds flavors of juicy yellow plum, lemon curd and vanilla custard. Rich tropical tones and a lingering spice add richness and texture to the long, fresh finish."

"Our 2011 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir opens with lovely, vibrant aromas of cherry pie and sassafras, supported by subtle earth tones and hints of rose petal and vanilla. Vibrant pomegranate and cranberry join in on the palate, with notes of black licorice, espresso bean, sweet pipe tobacco and cherry cola. With elegant structure, the juicy mid-palate leads to a lingering finish of sweet spice."

"The delicious 2011 Pinot Gris offers up notes of green apple skins, lemon rind, orange and fig. It possesses serious flavor depth, a zesty, dry, un-oaked personality, and 12 months of drinkability."

"This floral white displays aromas of ripe, zesty apple and honeysuckle. Firm and complex, with an underlying elegance and spiciness. Should gain with age."

"Graphite, crushed rocks, wild flowers and dark red cherries are all wrapped together in firm, intense Pinot that isn’t ready to show all of its cards just yet".

"The 2011 vintage shows deeper color than usual, a hallmark of the vintage. Aromatically generous, there are new aromas to be discovered with each breath. Bright red cherry fruit and vanilla custard are immediately apparent, but darker, forest fruits linger around the edge. The palate is quite lush considering the bright acidity and robust structure. This is a wine that is drinking beautifully now but will reward anyone who puts it away for a few years."

"Deep ruby red color. Aromas of wild berries, savory dried herbs, and subtle earthiness lift elegantly from the glass. On the palate, flavors of Bing cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate are framed by fine-grained tannins, earthy minerality, and bright acidity. This wine has an enduring fresh finish."
