Cobb 2017 Coastlands Vineyard Old Firs Block Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Dark cherry and raspberry open with bay laurel, rose petal, lavender and white pepper. The palate is polished and svelte, its perfumed fruit held in a fresh, finely grained frame. Strawberry and tea leaf add detail before a lifted finish of orange rind and Meyer lemon peel, elegant and quietly persistent.
Hartford Court 2021 Land’s Edge Pinot Noir
Red and black cherry open with pomegranate and dried rose petal.

Refined but generous, it suits roast duck, salmon, mushrooms or herb-roasted chicken.

Large neutral oak casks and older French barrels are used, with restrained new-oak flavour and lively acidity through the finish.
Martin Ray 2020 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The southern sites have cool day-to-night temperature shifts, while the northern sites are at higher elevations.

Radio-Coteau 2015 Lemorel Zinfandel Sonoma Coast
Fresh red fruit leads with blood orange, rose petal, pomegranate and a cooling lift of mint.

Fine energy carries the wine through a bright, expressive finish with excellent clarity and poise.
Lake Sonoma Winery 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Black cherry and blueberry lead with earthy depth and a light brush of dried herbs.

Fresh enough to stay composed, it closes with lingering berry fruit, herbs and gentle earthy detail.
Cobb 2017 Doc’s Ranch Vineyard Pommard & 114 Selection Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
