A fantastic boutique discovery in small-production Pinot Noir from Metzker Family Estates.

This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is lively and playful, opening up with aromas of dried rose petals, violets and wild berries. As the wine warms in your glass, more layers of fruit and baking spices reach your senses. The mellow and smooth tannins are a perfect balance to the racy acidity on the mouthfeel. There is a long-lasting finish of freshness with this wine, making it food friendly and hard not to pour another glass.

92 Points Wine Spectator: "Big and rich, with layers of flavor unfolding on a bedrock frame. Dried raspberry, cherry tart and nectarine notes dominate, showing hints of cola and ample spice. Underbrush details emerge on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2024. 310 cases made."
