Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Volpert Vineyard opens with wafts of struck flint that give way to aromas of baked rhubarb, red cherry preserves, cinnamon, mossy bark and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate offers complex, detailed flavors that range from earth to spice. It’s structured by finely astringent tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar.

A lovely medium red color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is Ferren’s appellation wine and was raised in 20% new oak, while they use between 30-32% new oak in their other wines. This wine opens to a beautiful perfume of pomegranate and a hint of blue fruit, fresh roses, fresh herbs, and delicate mushroomy earth. It’s lovely on the palate, with medium body, and it’s fine, well-defined, and very even throughout, with refreshing acidity. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
The 2021 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a fine introduction to this range. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, mint and white pepper give the 2021 lovely brightness to match its gracious, mid-weight personality. Drink this over the next five to seven years.
