Belleau Wood Cellars Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023 750ml

Belleau Wood Cellars Pinot Noir is a 2023 bottling from the Sonoma Coast, one of California's cooler growing zones, where Pacific fog and wind push harvest late and hold acidity in the grapes. That climate tends to show in the glass as red fruit rather than black, and this wine follows the pattern: red cherry, cranberry and a floral rose-petal lift on the nose, then bright raspberry and pomegranate on the palate with a savoury, earthy edge underneath. Tannins are fine-grained and the finish stays cool and lifted rather than heavy. Serve it lightly chilled, around 55F, alongside salmon, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or a board of soft cheeses.
