Joan and Walt Flowers have made a significant mark in the wine world by daring to plant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a region that many deemed unsuitable for such delicate grapes. Located just two miles from the Pacific on the first mountain ridgeline of the Sonoma Coast, this vineyard represents true cool-climate wine growing. The unique altitude and ocean influence play a crucial role in shaping this wine's character.
The Flowers Pinot Noir is a delicate and nuanced offering, revealing layers of tart red cherry, wild raspberry, and rose. This complexity is beautifully complemented by an underlying minerality reminiscent of sea air, pencil shavings, and a hint of turned soil and spice. The palate is both bright and lively, allowing the fruit to shine, while firm tannins contribute to a long, satisfying finish.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with herb-roasted pork tenderloin and creamy cheeses like camembert, making it a versatile choice for various dining experiences.
Please drink responsibly.
