Tasting Notes
This radiant Pinot Noir pours a brilliant ruby hue and welcomes with aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and rose petal, accented by hints of white pepper and subtle forest floor. On the palate, vibrant red fruits — think cherry, red plum, and raspberry — unfold alongside soft notes of baking spice and earth. The wine’s lively acidity and fine-grained tannins create a graceful, food-friendly structure, culminating in a long, polished finish that lingers with holiday warmth.
Holiday Pairing Suggestions
The 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a natural match for the centerpiece of the season: herb-roasted turkey with cranberry-orange relish. Its brightness and balance also complement glazed ham, duck breast with cherry gastrique, and classic sides like sausage and sage stuffing, wild mushroom gravy, and roasted root vegetables with thyme. It brings out the best in creamy baked cheeses such as Brie en croûte, as well as vegetarian favorites like butternut squash risotto or beet Wellington. For festive grazing, pour a glass alongside a holiday-inspired charcuterie board filled with cured meats, aged cheeses, dried fruits, and spiced nuts. This wine’s elegance and versatility make it an essential for everything from cozy dinners to grand seasonal feasts.
