Region: Sonoma Coast, California

Vintage: 2016

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

History: Guarachi Family Wines focuses on two key varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, producing four distinct wines. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from several vineyards: Lincoln Ranch, Mast, Rancho Salinas, Yountville, and Zinfandel Lane. Heritage Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from Las Piedras Heritage. Gap’s Crown Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is produced at the namesake vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, while Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir comes from Gap’s Crown, Gold Rock Ridge and Sun Chase, the first ownership acquisition from Guarachi Family.

Tasting Notes:

Velvety smooth, this wine seduces from the get-go, robust in black fruit, tea and delicate offerings of rose petal and lavender. Intensely full bodied, it retains a balance of bright, natural acidity that tames the spicy tannins.
