Truly remarkable bottle of Pinot, revealing a perfect integration of intricacy and finesse.

Round and silky texture, without a strong tannic presence, makes it an excellent option for those aiming for a mellow wine. As a compromise between a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and a more affordable option, it's a outstanding value. The price point of $34 is well worth it, considering its quality. However, it may not be compatible for those seeking a wine with a more pronounced tannic structure, and its price of $55 may be out of reach for some.

Voss Experts4.5

Exhibiting a vibrant ruby hue, this Pinot Noir from Calesa Vineyard opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of rose petal, underscored by subtle nuances of forest floor and clove. On the palate, it is elegantly structured, with silky tannins and a lively acidity that frames the core of red fruit flavors, interwoven with whispers of black tea and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and graceful, marked by a delicate spiciness. This wine exemplifies the finesse and complexity characteristic of premium Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
