2023 Alma Fria, Richardson Ranch Pinot Noir, West Sonoma Coast, USA Ghostwriter de-stemmed and allowed to macerateRichardson Ranch is a throwback to an era when old growth redwoods were abundant and the humanity they attracted, supported, and fed were symbiotic. This is the historic terroir of the West Sonoma Coast. Its modern story repeats this ethos with the winegrape. Its wine aromas echo an understory of wet conifers filled with wild herbs & spices, while its fruit flavors give blood orange, cinnamon, and sage. Together, they forge an intense coastal tea.
