Sonoma Coast

2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir

The 2023 vintage is not one we will soon forget. A cool and wet winter lead to a budbreak 2-3 weeks later than average. Daytime temperatures throughout the growing season continued to be unusually cool, with averages in the low 70s and the warmest days just reaching into the low 80s. This lead to an exceptionally late harvest – over a full month later than 2022, offering the grapes an extended hang time to develop extraordinary complexity and concentration. The even cooler nights, a hallmark of the Sonoma Coast, preserved fresh acidity and created a beautiful balance with the season’s generous ripe fruit flavors.
