Subtle undertones of umami-rich mushroom, black tea, and ocean forest intertwine with strawberry and wet volcanic rock. A thread of coastal salinity lifts the finish, leaving a wine both powerful and graceful, rooted in history yet alive with the energy of the sea\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Whole cluster • natively fermented • \u003c\/em\u003e13% ALCOHOL    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Vinous Media:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eA new wine in this range, the 2024 Pinot Noir Pacific Rock emerges from McDougall, a well-known site in Fort Ross-Seaview. Bold and explosive, the 2024 possesses tremendous textural depth and intensity. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, cedar, cloves, menthol and licorice fill out the layers. This imposing, broad-scaled Pinot has a lot to offer. There’s a bit of toughness in the tannin that needs to be addressed, but this is nevertheless a very fine debut. I expect the Pacific Rock will continue to improve now that the vineyard is being transitioned to organic farming, a process that takes 7-10 years to show full results.\" – Antonio Galloni (Jan 2026) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINIFERA WINE MARKETING","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53041920704877,"sku":null,"price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/pacrock.png?v=1771888081","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/raen-fort-ross-seaview-pacific-rock-vineyard-pinot-noir-2024-sonoma-coast-california-vm-95","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
