wine label

Story

  • The strength of Clos du Bois grower relations ensure a continuous supply of the highest quality grapes for the Sonoma Reserve Series.
  • Description

  • A not too dry, velvety, juicy, medium bodied red wine with red currant, plum and rose petal with nutmeg oak flavors
  • Why Drink This Wine

  • The rugged and cool Sonoma Coast (just few miles from Pacific Ocean) provide perfect ingredients for an elegant and very complex wine. Silky and smooth; not overpowering as are many CA Pinots today.
