Winery Notes:
For the first time ever, we attempted to make this wine a more accurate reflection of the coast as a whole. The 2021 Aston Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a blend of Aston Estate fruit, as well as fruit from two different Pinot Noir vineyards, Riddle and Joy Road, located more southernly, around the town of Occidental. The result in the glass highlights the dark, umami-rich forest floor character of the Estate fruit, interwoven with vivacious red fruit and bright acidity that is the hallmark of Occidental-area vineyards. The mouthwatering quality of this appellation level wine is probably what I like best about it simultaneously providing really nice weight without growing heavy or tiresome.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a deep but transparent red, with ripe aromas of red cherry, wild herbs, pine, and damp earth. The palate is ripe and saturated with fantastic lift and energy, noted with blood orange, snappy with ripe pomegranate, and offering a crunchy texture. it is a lovely wine to drink over next several years, but I like its youthful nature. Drink 2024-2034.

This pumps out tasty mulberry and black cherry fruit paste flavors, which show drive and focus as singed anise, warm earth and black tea notes come into play. Reveals late savory and bramble notes, which inject a nice hint of wild energy into the well-structured finish. Best from 2024 through 2030. 1,500 cases made.

The 2021 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is dense, lush, and explosive. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are all dialed up in this exuberant, flamboyant wine. The opulent pinot represents a decidedly intense, fruit driven style for the West Sonoma Coast.
