For the Pinot Lover out there, four beautifully crafted Pinot Noir wines for your enjoyment!

MAXEM 2022 Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

Silver Eagle Vineyard rests atop Stoetz Ridge, the land mass that divides the remote Sonoma Coast from the Russian River Valley. This vineyard experiences both the cooling ocean breezes of the nearby Pacific, as well as the warmth of the interior valley. The Pinot Noir made from this unique confluence of climates is extraordinary: a rare balance of explosive wild berry, mouth-watering acidity, and rich, polished tannins.
