Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The 2022 Atelier Ilaria Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir gracefully wafts out of the glass with notes of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry and blood orange. Hints of wildflowers and crushed rock frame the fruit profile. The palate features balance, integrated acidity and ultra-fine tannins while the finish showcases purity and finesse.
