West Sonoma Coast

Vintage Notes

No question about it, 2023 is a vintage for the decade. Cooler spring temperatures delayed bud break with verasion arriving as late as August in some vineyard sites. This shifted harvest later into the fall, requiring even more meticulous farming practices. While this made for a more challenging year, the prolonged growing season allowed for deep and complex flavors to develop. We can’t believe we’re saying this…2023 may best the incredible vintages of 2021 and 2022.

Winemaker Notes

“The 2023 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast is a new wine from Senses, and the long, cool season in 2023 resulted in an especially striking debut. It bursts from the glass with layered scents of blackberry, raspberry, potpourri, citrus peel, bitters and earthy undertones. The medium-bodied palate is silky and elegant with a balance of detailed, spicy flavors and vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, layered finish.”
