Ferren Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2022

95 points - limited                                                             Up and coming Cult Sonoma Pinot Noir producer Ferren Wines! Limited. 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The ruby-colored Ferren 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is elegant and fruity, with a floral perfume of wild red berries, fresh flowers, mossy earth, and saline. Medium-bodied, supple, and silky feel, it’s fruity and approachable but has a wide drinking window over the coming 6-8 years....Founded by winemaker Matt Courtney and his longtime friend David Wherritt, Ferren focuses on single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the far Sonoma Coast. They had initially set out to be a Pinot Noir house, but they now produce an equal amount of Chardonnay, and the wines don’t disappoint. The whites are textural, balanced, and highly expressive across the board." Winemaker Matt Courtney founded Ferren Wines with longtime friend David Wherritt after an eight-year apprenticeship with Helen Turley at Marcassin Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. The wines are made using traditional Burgundian methods without fining or filtration, and fermentations are carried out exclusively by native flora that arrive on the grapes from the vineyards. The Ferren Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is one of our favorite small-production Pinots of the vintage.
