For two thousand years, the Pinot Noir grape has been cultivated and vinified. Sonnet is dedicated to producing wines that capture and express the character of Pinot Noir at its most sublime.

The French use the word terroir  to describe a wine's reflection of the land. Sonnet believes wine should go further, bottling both a time and a place to be uncorked and remembered. Each wine Sonnet produces is a testament to the vintage, a vinous memory of every harvest, to be poured over and relived.

Pinot Noir - 2007, SC Mtns - Munns Vineyard

The vineyard is located 2600 feet above sea level on Loma Prieta. It sits mostly above the fog line and derives its cooling influences from its elevation, proximity to the Monterey Bay and cooling afternoon winds. The Muns Vineyard Pinot has concentrated black cherry and berry fruit with subtle hints of oak aromatics. The wine is dense without being too heavy or cloying, and shows a surprising elegance on the palate for such a big wine. Although this wine is drinking well now, it would prove more rewarding for the more patient of us, with further aging years.
