Marine Layer Vineyard Pinot Noir
2022, Sonoma Coast, USA
Profile & Story
Our six-acre Marine Layer vineyard sits on a southwest-facing slope, planted in 2016. We selected our favorite clones of Pinot Noir - Calera, Mt. Eden, 667, 115, and a few special suitcase selections. With the unique climate factors and the illustrious sandy Goldridge soil, this vineyard captures the true essence of the Sonoma Coast.
Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Marine Layer Vineyard Pinot Noir is crafted from three carefully selected clones. With a vibrant ruby hue, the nose is a captivating blend of ripe raspberries, coastal forest, and delicate herbs; a bouquet that is both complex and inviting. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine strikes a perfect balance, showcasing pure, expressive flavors of juicy pomegranate and forest floor underpinned by fine-grained tannins reminiscent of black tea. The finish is long and graceful, promising even greater depth and nuance as it evolves with time.
