La Crema
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.
Wine Enthusiast
A good Pinot that shows a fine coastal influence. Dry and silky, it displays flavors of ripe cherries, Dr. Pepper cola, red licorice and sandalwood, with a cinnamon and pepper flourish. Drink now.
Score: 88. —Steve Heimoff, September 01, 2009.Wine Advocate
The Pinot Noirs include the very good 2007 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast (200,000 cases), which exhibits crisp, plum, cherry, and allspice characteristics along with good body and an attractive, fragrant style. It should drink nicely for 3-4 years.
