2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast: Elegance for the Holiday Table
Celebrate the season with the graceful charm of our 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, a wine beautifully shaped by brisk coastal breezes and misty winter mornings. This elegant vintage captures the spirit of the holidays with its harmonious blend of bright fruit, gentle spice, and silky texture—an inviting companion for festive gatherings, intimate dinners, and all the merry moments shared around the table. Its balance and poise make it a timeless choice for elevating holiday traditions old and new.
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shines a radiant ruby, offering aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and rose petal woven with delicate hints of white pepper and forest floor. The palate is lively and expressive, unfolding layers of cherry, red plum, and raspberry alongside warm touches of baking spice and subtle earthiness. Vibrant acidity and refined tannins glide toward a long, polished finish—one that carries the comforting warmth and quiet elegance of the season.
Its versatility makes the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast a standout for holiday pairings. It beautifully complements herb-roasted turkey with cranberry-orange relish, glazed ham, or duck with cherry gastrique, as well as hearty classics like sage and sausage stuffing, wild mushroom gravy, and thyme-roasted root vegetables. It shines alongside creamy baked cheeses such as Brie en croûte and vegetarian favorites like butternut squash risotto or beet Wellington. For festive grazing, pair it with a seasonal charcuterie spread—aged cheeses, cured meats, dried fruits, and spiced nuts—to create a truly memorable holiday experience.
