Flowers 2019 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Chantal Forthun bases this blend on fruit from Sea View Ridge. It includes other far-coast vineyards and some less extreme sites that provide some luscious richness to take the edge off the bright, coastal fruit, matching raspberry seed tannins to raspberry cream, the red blush of peach skin, the light smokiness of sandstone. The transparent garnet color seems to reflect the wine’s brightness, suited to tuna seared rare, or grilled bluefish this summer.92 points Wine & Spirits April 2021

The 2019 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is effusive right out of the bottle. Bright red/purplish berry fruit and lifted aromatics give the 2019 so much immediacy and sheer appeal. Medium in body and supremely gracious, the Sonoma Coast Pinot is a terrific introduction to the lineup. 91 PointsVinous  January 2021
