From a site on true Sonoma Coast that lies above the fog line and consists of goldridge soils, the 2016 Pinot Noir Shell Ridge reveals a vibrant purple/ruby color as well as complex notes of red currants, blood orange, spice, and exotic flowers. Medium-bodied, it has a perfumed, high-toned character, notable elegance, and a pretty, complex, satisfying style. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.
