Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Kara Marie in California’s picturesque Sonoma Coast AVA, this 2023 Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance and elegance. Recognized with Double Gold honors and 95 Points at the 2025 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, this wine delivers exceptional quality without compromising approachability—a standout choice for both casual sips and sophisticated occasions.

This vibrant Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir opens with bright red fruit flavors—think Bing cherry layered with maraschino’s sweetness and Rainier’s tangy freshness—while its crisp acidity ensures each glass feels lively yet refined. Designed to shine at the table, its savory undertones make it an ideal match for everything from roasted poultry to rich cheeses or even lighter fare like herb-crusted salmon. Unlike heavier reds that can overpower meals, this wine’s light-bodied structure pairs effortlessly with diverse dishes while still offering complexity through nuanced spice and mineral notes.

Kara Marie’s expertise shines here: by harnessing the cool coastal climate of Sonoma Coast, she creates a wine that’s both silky-smooth and surprisingly bold on the palate—a rare harmony among Pinot Noirs from this region. At 13% alcohol by volume, it’s easy-drinking yet packed with character perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings alike.
