Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

The Platt Vineyard 2023 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast was ranked #98 in Wine Spectator's Top 100.

Platt Vineyard is a small, family-owned estate located in one of the coolest parts of the Sonoma Coast.

The vineyard sits at high elevation with direct exposure to Pacific Ocean winds and fog, creating an extremely marginal climate for grape growing.

This extreme terroir produces Pinot Noir of exceptional intensity, acidity, and minerality.

The Estate Reserve represents a selection of the finest barrels from the vintage, showcasing the property's potential.

The 2023 vintage, while warm and challenging in many parts of California, likely benefited from the cooling influence of the ocean on the West Sonoma Coast.

The wine typically shows intense aromatics of red berries, flowers, herbs, and pronounced minerality.

The palate is precise and focused, with vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins.

This wine has significant aging potential of 10-15 years and represents some of the most terroir-driven Pinot Noir produced in California.

It appeals to those seeking Pinot Noir with a more European, Burgundian character.
