The Flowers 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir showcases this pioneering estate's commitment to producing world-class wines from extreme coastal vineyards. Flowers Vineyard & Winery, founded in 1989, farms some of the most challenging terrain in California wine country. Their vineyards, located on ridgetops just miles from the Pacific Ocean, experience intense maritime influence including fog, wind, and cool temperatures. These extreme conditions result in Pinot Noir of exceptional elegance, purity, and minerality. The winery was among the first to recognize the potential of the true Sonoma Coast for world-class Pinot Noir production. Wine Enthusiast has reviewed Flowers wines favorably, noting their racy and energetic character. The 2023 vintage benefits from the cool growing season that is characteristic of this appellation, producing wines with vibrant acidity and complex aromatics. Flowers Pinot Noirs are known for their Burgundian character, showing restraint and finesse rather than overt power. This wine represents some of the finest expression of coastal California Pinot Noir.
