The 2023 Marnet Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch from Sonoma Coast opens with focused aromatics of pine forest, leading to a fleshy, creamy mid-palate layered with cranberry and black cherry. Subtle vanilla and clove nuances add warmth, framed by superb tension, poise, and minerality from the vineyard’s rocky, ocean-influenced soils. This medium-bodied red delivers excellent depth and energy, echoing the savory elegance of Hirsch wines from nearby sites. 8% alcohol, it balances concentration with lively freshness. Enjoy chilled slightly with grilled salmon or mushroom risotto.
