The Sonoma Coast is an AVA (American Viticultural Area) that is unfortunately large and sometimes has difficulty finding a “sense of place” due to its vast size, varied soil types, and differing climates. However in recent years the Sonoma Coast has become well known for its specialty, Pinot Noir. Landmark has known about the potential of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir for many years and in this library tasting blog post we’re going to focus on some of our well known Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs from various vintages. 2002 Grand Detour Pinot Noir: This 10 year old multi-vineyard Pinot Noir is light in body with aromas of wild berry fruit and tobacco. The remaining structured tannins lead over red fruits flavors on the palate. This wine is probably at its peak and should be consumed in the next 6 months. 2004 Grand Detour Pinot Noir: The 2004 harvest was early due … Read more »

Our Spring 2011 Wine Club shipment features two beautiful wines, 2008 Damaris Reserve Chardonnay and 2009 Spring Hill Pinot Noir. Both wines are perfect accompaniments to fresh spring ingredients. The Damaris is a 58% Flocchini Vineyard, 42% Sangiacomo Vineyards blend. Delicate citrus notes, with a hint of toasty oak. Only 800 cases produced. Spring Hill is a new addition to our family, located in the prized Petaluma Gap area of Sonoma Coast . This Pinot exhibits blackberries and boysenberries on the nose and finishes long with hints of tobacco. In this episode of Cooking with Carol, Carol pairs the wines with a couple easy spring dishes. The Pan-Seared Salmon Salad can be served warm or cold, but please chill the Damaris, PAN- SEARED SALMON SALAD WITH FENNEL WITH A CITRUS DRESSING6 4-ounce portions … Read more » The upcoming Winter 2010 release features two stellar single vineyard wines, 2008 Lorenzo Chardonnay and 2008 Saltonstall Pinot Noir. Lorenzo Vineyards has been our marquee chardonnay vineyard for well over a decade. This beautiful crisp Russian River wine is the closet chardonnay we produce to a true White Burgundy. The 2008 Lorenzo is paired with a lovely Sea Scallop dish. Saltonstall is the newest addition to our portfolio. It is a Sonoma Coast vineyard that sits about 9 miles from the coast. That is about as close as a vineyard can get and still expect to ripen fruit. This leads to an extremely complex Pinot Noir, with bright fruit and nice acidity. Unfortunately, Saltonstall is an extremely small production wine (112 cases), so if you want more, I would get your orders in now. Saltonstall is paired with Whole Roasted Quail and Sweet Potatoes Anna.

Both wines show exceptional complexity, with distinct terrior notes that epitomize Santa Maria Valley. In today’s Washington Post, the uniqueness of Bien Nacido Vineyard is explored, Nicholas Miller seemed reluctant to extol the virtues of Bien Nacido Vineyards as he drove me around the property his family has farmed for four decades in California’s northern Santa Barbara County. I was there to write about an iconic American vineyard that is famed for producing some of … Read more » |
