The 2018 Chronicle Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir captures the essence of its coastal terroir with remarkable finesse. Scoring 95 points, this wine reveals layers of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of earthy spice, all beautifully intertwined with a touch of oak that adds depth without overshadowing its fruit-forward character. Its silky texture and vibrant acidity create a balanced palate, making it incredibly food-friendly. Pair it with roasted duck or a mushroom risotto for a delightful experience. Given its original retail price of $65, this Pinot Noir is a smart buy for the quality, delivering an exceptional tasting experience that rivals much pricier counterparts.
