Cline North Coast CA Pinot Noir 2021 – Bold & Smooth Red Wine

Cline Cellars 2021 Pinot Noir – A Coastal Gem from Sonoma County
Crafted by Cline Cellars in California’s renowned Sonoma County, this 2021 Pinot Noir stands out for its vibrant expression of cool-climate complexity. Sourced from grapes grown in the fog-kissed Petaluma Gap—a region prized for its maritime influence—this wine delivers a refreshing contrast to warmer-terroir bottlings. Rated 91 points by Tasting Panel, its bright acidity and lively character make it an ideal choice for those seeking an approachable yet layered red wine experience.

Appearance & Aroma
Glowing ruby-red hues invite you into this wine’s fragrant world. The nose bursts with wild strawberry and black cherry nuances, subtly woven with earthy undertones of forest floor and mushroom. Notes of rosemary and pomegranate add herbal intrigue, while hints of vanilla from barrel-aging soften its rustic charm—a perfect balance between elegance and authenticity that appeals to both casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike.

Flavor & Finish
On the palate, this Pinot Noir unfolds with velvety softness and rich depth. Ripe raspberry and cherry flavors dance alongside savory accents of white pepper and sandalwood—a testament to its meticulous craftsmanship—culminating in a lengthy finish that lingers with spicy sophistication. Unlike many bold Napa Cabernets or fruit-forward wines from other regions, its restrained tannins and coastal minerality make it exceptionally versatile at table pairings such as grilled salmon or herb-roasted poultry.

Why Choose This Bottle?
For fans of California wines seeking freshness without sacrificing depth, this bottling offers a standout expression of Petaluma Gap’s terroir-driven elegance. At 14% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between approachability and complexity—ideal for savoring during relaxed evenings or special occasions where nuanced flavor profiles shine through.
