WINE DESCRIPTION
Wild Ridge Pinot Noir is cultivated on the coastal edge of Sonoma County, where the vineyards bask in the optimal maritime climate provided by the Pacific Ocean. The location, perched on the ridges of the Sonoma Coast, is characterized by its cool, fog-shrouded mornings and breezy afternoons which are ideal for the slow ripening of Pinot Noir grapes. This results in a wine that not only showcases intense flavor but also maintains a bright acidity. Wild Ridge takes a hands-on approach to winemaking, employing sustainable practices to coax out the depth and complexity that the region is known for, presenting a Pinot Noir with a true sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Wild Ridge Pinot Noir captures the eye with its gleaming garnet color, a window to its complexity.Aromatically, it unfurls with vibrant notes of wild strawberries, red cherries, and a bouquet of floral overtones, punctuated by an earthy minerality and a kiss of oak. On tasting, the palate is greeted with an elegant mélange of red fruits, a testament to the coastal terroir's influence, and balanced by a precise acidity and subtle spice notes. The tannins are supple, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of the wine, culminating in a persistent and sophisticated finish that echoes the wine’s coastal heritage.
