Tasting Notes

This 100% Pinot Noir cuvée reflects the cool and windy microclimate of the Sonoma Coast AVA. This climate and terroir provide the ideal conditions for low yields and allow Pinot Noir grapes to mature slowly. Increased time on the vine retains the fruit's natural acidity, with bright flavors of red cherries, raspberries, and spice. They ensure the elegant expression in this Pinot Noir by aging in large neutral oak casks, stainless steel, and older French oak barrels to keep new oak flavors to a minimum.

Serving Suggestion

Lively acidity on the finish makes it an ideal accompaniment to grilled fish and fowl or barbecued meats.

Tasting Panel

92 Points // Red cherry and shaved cocoa are heady scents. The flavors of tobacco, cinnamon, pomegranate pith, and sandalwood form a charming parade. This is a juicy red, with unearthed raspberries and a spiced cedar finish.

Wine Enthusiast

92 Points // This moody, dusky, flavorful wine offers rich black tea, forest duff and black-cherry notes on a full body framed by light tannins. Complexity without noticeable oak, length and a supple mouthfeel make it especially enjoyable.

James Suckling

91 Points // An attractive nose of red cherry, sliced strawberry and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with gentle tannins. The palate has more wet mineral and wild berry notes than the nose lets on, giving it more width and depth through the juicy finish.
90 Points, Wilfred Wong of wine.com // The 2021 Schug Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is balanced and lively on the palate. This wine offers aromas and flavors of tart red fruits, a hint of spearmint, and a touch of dried earth.
