Flowers Sea View Ridge Pinot Noir 2007
Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California
ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:
Deeply colored dark red and ruby. Effusive of forest floor; brambly and earthy, the bouquet is packed with blackberry, raspberry and earth notes. Flavors of sweet plums, black cherries and toasted oak are balanced and well integrated with a big mouth feel, refined tannin and long finish. Drink now or cellar up to 4 years.
alcohol by volume:
13.8%
critical acclaim:
"A classy, rich Pinot. It's delicately structured, with a transparent silkiness. Tight in acidity and also somewhat tannic, but showing great finesse, with a spicy core of raspberries, cherries, cola, lime zest and minerals. Drink now through 2015."

Wine Enthusiast
"Sea View Ridge is the most recent estate planting at Flowers, 22 acres completed between 2000 and 2003. It's also the highest in elevation, rising to 1,875 feet, well above the fog that churns off the Pacific two miles away. The coastal cool is right there in the wine, in the tight raspberry scent, the saltiness and the refreshing finish. That coolness carries a vast array of complex aromas, hinting at carrot roots, iodine, chocolate and earth, all subtle backdrops to the fruit. As befits pinot from a favored site, this one is presented as a transparent view to the soil and climate, unburdened by any varietal or winemaking baggage. It's worth a visit. "
