Juicy, Vibrant, and Packed with California Sunshine

Sourced from cool, coastal vineyards across California, this highly popular bottling captures the quintessential charm of Sonoma County-led fruit. The 2024 vintage delivers an incredibly approachable, fruit-forward bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and sweet holiday baking spices. It is a smooth, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that glides across the palate with a silky texture, balancing its rich berry core with a fresh line of acidity and soft, well-rounded wood tannins.

Expert Tasting Notes & Estate Reputation

  • 92 Points – James Suckling: "A big, satisfying, medium-bodied wine with sweet fruit aromas and baking spices. This has juicy, concentrated, red and black cherries on the palate, with fine tannins. Drink now."
  • The Spirit of Sonoma Coast: Founded in San Francisco in 2009 by three friends with a passion for cool-climate Pinot Noir, Banshee Wines was born with a mission to craft high-quality wines that don't take themselves too seriously. Now anchored in the heart of Sonoma County, the winemaking team works closely with premium growers across the Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley, and cool coastal valleys to capture a vibrant, food-friendly style defined by pure aromatics, silky textures, and undeniable charm.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir meticulously sourced from cool-climate vineyards across premium coastal California AVAs, driven heavily by Sonoma County fruit.
  • Grown under a balanced, sunny 2024 season that allowed the grapes to achieve optimal skin ripeness while preserving bright, lively natural acidity.
  • Aged with care for up to 9 months in select French oak barrels to gently smooth structural contours and integrate warm notes of vanilla and sweet spice.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red.
  • Nose: Forward, lifted, and highly inviting, bursting with aromas of ripe red cherry, wild raspberry, and pomegranate, beautifully layered with cinnamon spice, earthy forest floor, and a warm kiss of vanilla bean.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and remarkably silky on entry. Generous flavors of red plum paste and forest berries coat the mid-palate, driven smoothly by a crisp line of refreshing acidity. The mouthfeel is supple and rounded, finishing clean with lingering notes of sweet wood toast and soft earth.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–15°C to focus its vibrant red fruits and keep the profile fresh and energetic.
  • Decanting: Not strictly required as this 2024 vintage is built for immediate, joyful popping, though a 10-minute open always helps the spicy oak elements integrate smoothly. Perfect for enjoying over the next 3–5 years.
  • Western Pairing: Grilled salmon fillets, roasted duck breast, pork sliders, or wild mushroom risotto.
  • Asian Pairing: 明炉燒鴨 (Roasted Duck), 豉油雞 (Soy Sauce Chicken), or 鹽酥雞 (Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Basil Popcorn Chicken).
