Schug Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021
USA, Sonoma Coast
Pinot Noir
Price category: $$$
Description
This 100% Pinot Noir reflects the cool and windy microclimate of the Sonoma Coast AVA. This climate and terroir provide ideal conditions for low yields and allow Pinot Noir grapes to mature slowly, retaining the fruit's natural acidity, with bright flavors of red cherries, raspberries, and spice. We ensure the elegant expression in this Pinot Noir by aging in large neutral oak casks, stainless steel, and older French oak barrels to keep new oak flavors to a minimum. Lively acidity on the finish makes it an ideal accompaniment to grilled fish and fowl or barbecued meats.
