Sonoma County

Cork

An astonishingly energetic Pinot Noir. Clarity of site and purity of fruit shine through. A singular look at the Freestone Valley through the lens of the Cleary Ranch Vineyard, one of the coldest sites on the West Sonoma Coast, where the foggy marine layer from the nearby Pacific is met with the cooling effects of Salmon Creek. This Pinot communicates a beautiful transparency and shows a concentration of fruit and flowers. Aromas of smoky violets, forest floor and wild mint move to the bass notes created by tangy blackberries and red plum skin. The palate is lithe and finely etched. Saline minerality frames gorgeous red and blue berries, smoky hints of clove and elegance of wild herbs and mouthfuls of purple florals complete this haunting coastal beauty.
