Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is the definitive study in high-elevation maritime viticulture. Founded on the steep, 1,400-foot ridges of what is now the West Sonoma Coast AVA, Flowers was a pioneer in the "True Sonoma Coast" movement. The 2023 vintage is a masterclass in restraint, leveraging the extended growing season of the Pacific ridges to produce a Pinot Noir of crystalline acidity and haunting aromatic clarity.

The 2023 Flowers Sonoma Coast is a high-priority acquisition for those tracking the newly established West Sonoma Coast AVA. This vintage is particularly prized for its return to a more traditional, high-acid framework following the warmer cycles of the late 2010s. While accessible upon release, the structural integrity of the 2023 suggests a rewarding evolution over the next 5 to 7 years. Every bottle offered here is verified for pristine label and capsule integrity and has been stored in a temperature-controlled environment since release. It remains the essential "gateway" to the Flowers estate-vineyard vertical.

To allow the rose petal and crushed stone aromatics to fully integrate, we recommend decanting for 30–45 minutes before serving. The ideal temperature is 55–60°F in a large Burgundy glass. This Pinot Noir is a peerless partner for roasted duck, salmon, or mushroom-based risotto, though its bright acidity also allows it to pair beautifully with grilled pork and aged hard cheeses.
