Tasting Notes
"In the glass, our 2007 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir offers expressive aromas of ripe cherry, spicy clove and licorice punctuated by fresh floral notes. Bright cherry continues in the mouth, joined by plum, orange peel
and tea leaves, giving a mouth-watering juiciness to this wine. Balanced acidity and sturdy tannins round out
the mouth." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

The Place: Sonoma County
Like the Burgundy wine region of France, the vineyards of Sonoma Coast offer an unusually long, cool and even growing season. Lingering fog and wind from the nearby Pacific Ocean (or, in Los Carneros’ case, the San Pablo Bay) moderate temperatures throughout the growing season and slow the ripening process. With an extended “hang” time on the vines, the results at harvest are small berries with firm acidity and highly concentrated varietal aromas and flavors.
