Vinous Magazine named it “a huge overachiever,” awarding 93 Points, praising its explosive blend of bold red berry flavors intertwined with aromatic lavender and rose petal accents—all underscored by hints of minty spice that linger delightfully on the palate. James Suckling added his seal of approval (92 Points) for its lively acidity framed by ripe cherry tones lifted by floral hibiscus notes and zesty lime zest finishing tangy yet balanced enough for aging potential or immediate enjoyment.

Wine Advocate highlighted (91 Points) its layered complexity: baked rhubarb sweetness meets tart cranberry on entry before evolving into earthy red cherry nuances against a backdrop of mossy bark undertones—a light-bodied sip enhanced by chalky texture and refreshing minerality that keeps you coming back for more.

This coastal gem strikes an ideal balance between approachable richness at 14.1% alcohol and crisp acidity shaped by cool maritime conditions unique to Sonoma’s coastlines. Perfectly suited for salmon dishes or sipped solo as an everyday indulgence, it combines sophistication with accessibility rarely found at this price point.
