The Dancing Wind Cellars Pinot Noir Estate Kendrick Vineyard Petaluma Gap Marin County 2023 offers a refined expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir, showcasing bright red cherry and raspberry aromas with subtle hints of rose petal and earth. The influence of the Petaluma Gap’s persistent winds lends the wine a balanced structure, vibrant acidity, and a silky texture, while maintaining delicate floral and savory nuances. This vintage displays a graceful interplay of fruit and minerality, reminiscent of elegant Burgundy but with a distinctly fresh California character. The finish is smooth and lingering, supported by fine tannins that invite early enjoyment or short-term cellaring.

Serve slightly chilled alongside roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon to highlight its nuanced complexity.
