RouteStock Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023 750ml
USA : CALIFORNIA : SONOMA COAST
Pinot Noir
MEDIUM-BODIED, RED CHERRY, DRIED HERB, EARTHY MINERAL, NEUTRAL OAK
Sourced from three Sonoma Coast sites — including the estate Moon Dust Vineyard in Sebastopol Hills, where 16-year-old vines contribute roughly 40% of the blend — the 2023 RouteStock Pinot shows the character of the vintage: cool-season elegance, bright acidity, and real minerality. Aged 11 months in all-French oak (88% neutral, 12% new). A steal at this price point.
Winemaker Vance Rose works minimal-intervention throughout: native yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation, no chemical additions. The aromas lean toward dried herbs, toasted hazelnuts, and blood orange; the palate adds shiitake, bay laurel, and cooked red fruit with an umami backbone the Tasting Panel rated 92 points.
PAIRINGS :
| Chicken Leg Coq au Vin | braised poultry and earthiness are the classic match for cool-climate Pinot |
| Mushroom risotto | echoes the wine's umami core; earthy and savory throughout |
| Salmon with Pinot Noir reduction | mineral character works with seafood; lighter protein fits the medium body |
