Benoist Ranch Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast

The Benoist Ranch is tucked away in the far northwest corner of Carneros, within the southwest area of the Sonoma Coast appellation. Unlike most of this region, which is largely uplifted bay bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils at Benoist Ranch are of volcanic origin. These well-drained, rocky upland soils and the proximity to the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay make this site an ideal place to grow Burgundian varieties.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with cherry cola, wet earth and spearmint aromas. Incredible weight and brooding tannins frame dark cherry flavors with a long and flavorful finish. Pair with mushroom tart, triple creme brie with strawberry compote, or prosciutto pizza.

Wine Fact Sheet

The Benoist Ranch is tucked away in the far northwest corner of Carneros, within the southwest area of the Sonoma Coast appellation. Unlike most of this region, which is largely uplifted bay bottoms with soils composed of clay, the soils at Benoist Ranch are of volcanic origin. These well-drained, rocky upland soils and the proximity to the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay make this site an ideal place to grow Burgundian varieties. Individual vineyards within the ranch average only eight acres in size and spacing is dense to ensure low per-vine yields of fully-concentrated fruit.
