Moon Select

2013 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The Flowers Moon Select is a delightful Pinot Noir hailing from the picturesque Sonoma Coast. This enchanting red wine showcases an elegant body that is both smooth and inviting, providing a wonderful mouthfeel that captivates the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, delivering a refreshing burst that beautifully complements its expressive fruit character. Expect prominent notes of ripe cherry and raspberry, intertwined with subtle hints of earthy undertones that add complexity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, lending a graceful structure to the wine without overwhelming its delicate nature.

A true testament to the craftsmanship found in Sonoma, the Flowers Moon Select embodies the purity and finesse that Pinot Noir enthusiasts crave.

Region:


Sonoma Coast

Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.
