Description
This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is sourced from the finest section of the Côteaux Nobles vineyard, located on the eastern slope of the second ridge from the Pacific Ocean. This beautiful (joli) plot sits at the very heart of the ranch, which inspired the name of the wine.
Handcrafted using classical Burgundian winemaking techniques, this age-worthy Pinot Noir is named after a French expression that reflects the grape’s intriguing and alluring character. Intense flavours of red and black cherry and raspberry coulis fill the palate, followed by a rich, earthy, and concentrated finish. Built to age gracefully for decades.
“Joli Cœur comes across as a grand cru from the Northern Côte de Nuits. It should drink well for a decade or more.”
— Robert M. Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate, December 2014
