Sourced from select vineyards where Pacific fog and well-drained soils slow ripening to a crawl, it earned 91 points from Wine Enthusiast for its deep color, cocoa and dried-rose-petal aromatics, and a palate of plum, ripe red berry, and baking spice over supple tannins and bright acidity.

Fog, Wind, and Pinot
The Sonoma Coast is Pinot Noir's proving ground — some of California's coldest vineyard land, where the grape ripens slowly and keeps the acidity that makes great Pinot sing. MacRostie has spent decades learning these sites, and the 2021 shows it: generous plum and red berry fruit, hints of baking spice, and tannins supple enough for tonight yet structured enough for the cellar. Browse the MacRostie collection or explore Del Mesa's red wine cellar.
Tasting Notes
Deep, concentrated color; cocoa, dried rose petals, and perfumed oak on the nose; generous plum and ripe red berry with baking-spice hints on the palate; supple tannins and bright acidity through a versatile, food-friendly finish (per the winemaker; 91 pts Wine Enthusiast).
How to Enjoy
Decant 20–30 minutes and serve at cellar temperature (55–60°F). A natural partner for herb-roasted chicken, wild mushroom risotto, or cedar-plank salmon.
