Cool Climate

2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Cline Cool Climate Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast is a delightful red wine that beautifully showcases the character of the region's cool climate. The wine presents a medium-bodied profile, offering a perfect balance between elegance and richness. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, adding a lively touch that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with alluring notes of ripe cherries, strawberries, and subtle hints of spice that create complexity on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated and provide just enough structure without overpowering the wine's delicate flavors. This vintage is wonderfully dry, making it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes, from grilled salmon to earthy mushroom risotto. Cline's dedication to crafting this Pinot Noir is evident in every sip, making it a true gem from the Sonoma Coast.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
