Producer: CalStar Cellars Region: Sonoma Coast , Sonoma County , California Varietal: Pinot Noir Year: 2019 Gold Medal Winner – 2025 Sonoma County Harvest Fair Winemaker Notes: “The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir displays a radiant garnet hue upon pouring. The bouquet reveals vibrant red cherry and raspberry notes, underlined by subtle whispers of earthy mushrooms and exotic spice. With time in the glass, the aroma blossoms into a richer profile, featuring ripe blackberry, a hint of mocha, and a dash of vanilla. On the palate, this wine shines, embodying the exceptional growing conditions of the vintage. The fruit is ripe yet vibrant, presenting flavors of tart cherry, raspberry, and a touch of black pepper. A harmonious balance of silky tannins and energetic acidity showcases the depth of the fruit and leads to a refined, lingering finish. Although this Pinot Noir is captivating now, its structure and complexity suggest it will continue to evolve beautifully with further cellaring. Ultimately, the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a true testament to the Sonoma Coast AVA and how even within a broader AVA, the unique microclimates, soil types, and the winemakers decisions all harmonize to create a wine of distinction.” Alcohol: 14.4% *Price and availability in store may vary.
