Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Six-btl Set (6 x 750 ml)

The Davies family, of Schramsberg Vineyards and Davies Vineyards in the Napa Valley, is pleased to release the 2022 vintage of its Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This wine is a blend crafted from Perry Ranch, Dutton-Hallberg, Keefer Ranch and Nobles Vineyards. The familys experience with Pinot Noir dates back to 1967, when Jack and Jamie Davies first used this elegant red varietal to make their inaugural vintage of Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Over the 57 years following that first use, Schramsbergs winemakers have built long-lasting relationships with some of the best Pinot Noir growers and vineyards in the North Coast. Developing upon this passion, history, and experience, second-generation Vintner Hugh Davies, along with Winemakers Sean Thompson, Jessica Koga and J.P. Pierce present this delicious appellation-designate Pinot Noir.

Perry Ranch, Dutton-Hallberg and Keefer Ranch are located in the Green Valley AVA of the Russian River Valley. Predominantly Goldridge soil, well drained throughout the growing season, this ground generates moderate vine vigor, ideally suited for the growth of densely concentrated Pinot Noir wine grapes. The vineyards profit from a long, cool hang time resulting in fruit with outstanding color, extraction, and balanced tannins. Nobles Vineyard, in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, produces Pinot Noir with vibrant red berry flavors and a supple, layered texture. The vineyards are on the eastern slopes of the second mountain ridge in from the Pacific Ocean, between 950 and 1,050 feet above sea level.

The 2022 growing season began with several weeks of sunny weather, leading to an earlier bud break. After a few years of drought conditions, the harvest started a few weeks earlier than normal and concluded ahead of schedule. Ripening was hastened thanks to lighter crop levels and consistently warm days in late August and early September. The smaller berries and cluster sizes led to exceptional fruit quality, resulting in wine with superb concentration and flavor.

Tasting notes

Our 2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir offers scents of black raspberry, brambleberry, cherry, and cassis, intermingled with baking spice, lavender, and a gentle earthiness. A generous and full palate offers a juicy center of black current and baking spices, that are carried through to the finish.- Winemakers J.P. Pierce, Jessica Koga, Sean Thompson, Hugh Davies
