Description
If you haven't heard about the spectacular wines Tim Mondavi's sons, Carlo and Dante, are making from Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, you need to get to know them now. Actually, they make such limited quantities there won't be enough bottles to go around, so we can only hope for a higher allocation of future vintages. Like their father, these brothers have a light touch when it comes to winemaking and show their respect for the origins and terroir of their fruit by not over extracting or loading the wines up with too much new oak.
The 2023 vintage leads with captivating aromas of crushed wild berries, black cherries, rose petals, and coastal moss. Continued floral notes, black tea, and bergamot follow, giving way to coastal fern and forest floor. The powerful red and black fruit core is delicately interlaced with the notes of flowers and tea and coupled with exotic spice box, are all seamlessly woven together in a persistently long and seemingly everlasting finish.
