Gilded Letter
Sonoma Coast, California
A plush and expressive Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir awarded 92 Points and Gold!
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Gilded Letter
Pinot Noir
The California Sonoma Coast appellation is rugged and romantic. The coastal influence of the Pacific Ocean makes days during the growing season foggy in the morning, dry and hot in the afternoon, and chilly at night. The vineyard sites for this wine in particular sit incredibly close to the ocean which causes grapes to work harder for nutrients. This coastal influence develops into highly concentrated flavors that give the wines from this region their distinctive style. This Pinot Noir has a refined plushness and features a texturally opulent palate. Aged for 10 months in new French oak, it is a beautiful deep garnet color and has expressive deep fruit flavors and earthy aromas. Perfect for sipping when gathered by a fire with friends on a cool fall evening.

WINE 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.

TASTING NOTES:
Pomegranate
Vanilla
Cherry
A classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Expressive aromas of dark cherry and pomegranate are complemented by vanilla and mocha notes. Ripe red and dark fruit flavors come forward as fine-grained tannins and a light coastal influenced minerality linger on the finish.
