FLOWERS VINEYARDS & WINERY
2020 SONOMA COAST
PINOT NOIR
SONOMA COUNTY
Flowers Vineyard and Winery’s coastal proximity and high-elevation vineyards give their wine its distinct minerality and fresh acidity. Farmed sustainably, fermented with 100% native yeast and crafted with minimal intervention in the cellar, Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a pure expression of the rugged and extreme Sonoma Coast.
Flowers Winery founders were amongst the first to see the potential in the rough and rugged Sonoma Coast, planting their first vineyard in the area over 30 years ago.
Their organic and biodynamic approach to farming is part of their continued commitment to respect the environment and cultivate healthier vines for higher quality wines, which you can taste in all of the wines they produce.
The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir features a selection of small, family-owned vineyards, including the Sea View Ridge estate bringing forth an ultimate expression of cool-climate, coastal fruit.
The 2020 vintage experienced lower than average rainfall that stressed the vines and reduced yields resulting in super-concentrated fruit that reflects the continued pursuit of quality that Flowers delivers with each new vintage.

From Wine Enthusiast: “Firm lines of graphite and loamy earth streak through the opulent aromas of black plum and dried violet on the nose of this brooding Pinot Noir. The palate is a whirlwind of exuberance, as leathery tannins wrap around more graphite minerality, dried violet and lavender, stewed plum and a touch of bittersweet cocoa on the finish.” 96 Points
