Winemaker Notes

This fine-spun Pinot Noir opens with fresh aromas of coastal evergreens and wildflowers. Hints of early-season cherries follow, macerated in warm spices (anise, cardamom, allspice) and layered over earthy sandalwood. Ripe yet tangy dark berries, wearing a little dust from the patch, star on a lightly textured palate, giving way to savory herbs, delicately tannic red tea, and a pop of salty sea beans. A fascinating play of light fruit and dark spice is finished with a bright squeeze of orange peel.

About Flowers

WE BELIEVE THAT THE OUTER REACHES OF THE SONOMA COAST, A REGION DEFINED BY EXTREME ELEVATION AND COASTAL INFLUENCE ARE THE IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR GROWING ELEGANT AND NUANCED PINOT NOIR AND CHARDONNAY.

For nearly 30 years we’ve been growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the rugged Sonoma Coast. It’s a challenge, but we think great things rarely come easy. Through all that time our goal has stayed the same — make exceptional wines with balance, elegance, and respect for the land. We believe nature knows best and that the less we interfere, the more the authentic voice of the land is allowed to emerge. So we step back and let Mother Nature do what she does best — organic farming in the vineyard for healthy soil; and minimal intervention in the cellar to showcase the purity of the fruit and the expression of the land.
