Tasting Notes
This radiant Pinot Noir shimmers with a ruby hue and opens with fragrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. Subtle floral notes of violet and a touch of clove bring elegance and complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, bright red fruit takes center stage, with layers of red currant, plum, and a trace of minerality. The wine’s balanced acidity and silky tannins create a refined mouthfeel, leading to a lingering finish that captures the freshness and finesse of the Sonoma Coast.
Fall Pairing Suggestions
Perfect for autumn’s cozy meals and seasonal feasts, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, herb-crusted pork loin, or seared salmon with wild mushrooms. It also complements comforting vegetarian dishes like butternut squash risotto or a caramelized onion and goat cheese tart. For lighter fare, try it with roasted beet salad topped with hazelnuts or lentil stew with fresh herbs. As the season winds down, savor it alongside a wild mushroom pizza or a harvest-inspired charcuterie board with aged cheeses and spiced nuts. This Pinot Noir’s elegance and food-friendliness make it the ideal companion for everything from intimate dinners to festive fall gatherings.
