The 2023 Occidental Pinot Noir opens with an intoxicating mix of red cherry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate, accented by rose petals, orange zest, and a hint of coastal minerality. On the palate, it strikes that perfect balance between silky texture and electric energy—bright red fruit layered with subtle spice, crushed rock, and a touch of savory herbs. The acidity is crisp and mouthwatering, giving the wine lift and length, while fine-grained tannins frame a finish that lingers with notes of cranberry, sea salt, and just a whisper of forest floor. Elegant, pure, and utterly drinkable, it’s a beautiful snapshot of the far Sonoma Coast in a glass.
A tightly focused beam of bitter cherry, damson plum and raspberry coulis streams through, with mouthwatering cut in the form of ocean breeze minerality that runs from start to finish. Iris and rose hip notes fill in the background as the long, piercing finish shows a remarkably pure and unadorned feel. A high-definition Pinot. Drink now through 2035.
