Proem No. 3

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The Joseph Phelps Proem No. 3 Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast is an exceptional example of how geographic location and winemaking expertise harmonize beautifully. This red wine embodies a medium-bodied profile that showcases an elegant balance between fruit intensity and complexity. The vibrant notes of ripe red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, are complemented by subtle hints of earthy undertones and delicate floral aromas. Its bright, lively acidity makes each sip mouthwatering and refreshing, while the tannins are refined and well integrated, adding structure without overshadowing the wine's overall smoothness. This Pinot Noir is not just a testament to the fine terroir of the Sonoma Coast, but also to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Joseph Phelps winemaking team. Whether you are enjoying it with a fine meal or sipping it on its own, this wine promises to be a delightful and memorable experience.

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.
