Despite the challenges of Covid-19 and record wildfires in Sonoma County, the 2020 growing season was a success. Beginning with a dry winter with just half of the region’s typical rainfall, flowering came early and was followed by a warm growing season, August heat spells accelerated ripening, resulting in an early harvest, protecting the fruit from the smoke of the late-summer. The grapes ripened at lower sugars and boasted concentrated flavors.
2020 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
£32.00
This pale ruby Pinot Noir greets the nose with lively aromas of ripe blackberry, white pepper, and earthy wild mushrooms. On the palate, distinctive notes of freshly baked old-fashioned cherry pie and dark berries are interlaced with hints of cocoa and roasted walnuts. A long, smooth finish with lingering spicy notes.
