BOARS' VIEW

SONOMA COAST

stunning sonoma coast

Our love for Cabernet spans decades, our passion for Pinot Noir runs to our very core. We have long admired and enjoyed the lush, richly flavored, and bright Pinot Noirs from California’s Sonoma Coast. In 2007, we, along with good friends David and Judy Steiner became the proud owners of a phenomenal parcel of land, two ridgelines in from the Sonoma coastline. Thanks to the vineyard management prowess of Ulises Valdez and winemaking excellence of Thomas Rivers Brown, what started out as a grassy, untamed hilltop where wild boars roamed freely, has been transformed into a world-class Sonoma Coast vineyard, our Boars’ View.

2021 Boars’ View BDR Pinot Noir

FORT ROSS - SEAVIEW | SONOMA COAST

The growing season conditions were extremely favorable throughout this vintage and the proof comes through in this Estate Pinot Noir. The dark color of the wine inspires intrigue and draws you in by its mere presence. Exotic aromas emerge from the glass in concert suggesting notes of black tea, tart bramble fruits, quince, and anise. The densely layered palate is defined by a fine-tuned structure highlighting notes of pomegranate, lavender, and fresh sage. While still young and bold, this wine shows incredible potential to unpack with time in a decanter, or in a cool dark cellar. While this wine has much to offer today, the greatest truths this wine will tell can only come with time.  — Thomas Rivers Brown, Winemaker

2019 Boars’ View Estate Pinot Noir

FORT ROSS - SEAVIEW | SONOMA COAST

Vivacious and exotic, this bold Pinot Noir expresses the best attributes of its coastal, rugged hillside vineyard location. The wine displays a brilliant purple hue in the glass. A crescendo of aromas suggests notes of clove, black licorice, cranberry skin, and mint oil. The silky palate is layered with complex notes of spice dusted bramble fruit, lavender, kirsch, star anise, and plum reduction. With a mouth-watering acid framework and exotic spice lingering through the very long finish, this vintage has all the best qualities this site provides. — Thomas Rivers Brown

2019 Boars’ View Estate Chardonnay

SONOMA COAST

In the glass, this wine radiates a deep golden hue reminiscent of royal antiquities. There is a concert of aromas that emerge in waves, suggesting polished brass, flowering jasmine, lemon curd, white pepper and lilac. The palate features an array of decadent flavors. Notes of lanolin, crème brulée, honeysuckle, lychee, lime pith and white peach interact in harmony. The wine offers a very sleek, coating trajectory hallmarked by a wealth of rich Chardonnay flavor and complimentary new French oak. — Thomas Rivers Brown
