This is a beautifully made Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir made by Bill Hunter of Chasseur. This wine made from the cooler climate coastal vineyards in Western Sonoma county exudes some very Burgundian qualities while also delivering the fruit notes that has made Sonoma a true Pinot Noir mecca. Aged in French Oak, this wine has great balance and is elegant and substantial at the same time. I love this wine because it isn't trying to be something it isn't. Many of the new producers are overdoing the "lean, low alcohol" thing and the resulting wines tend to be somewhat underwhelming. Bill Hunter is a hell of a winemaker and this wine truly echoes the fruit, vineyards, and clones he works with.
Vrai Cote, which means "true coast" in French, is the second label from master of Burgundian varieties, Bill Hunter. Bill Hunter is best known for his Chasseur (means "hunter" in French) label of wines and has created a name for making stunning expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with fruit from some of the best vineyards on the true Sonoma Coast. These wines contain declassified barrels from his other wines and represent a tremendous value.
