Founded by three childhood friends from the West Sonoma Coast, Senses Wines crafts elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that reflect the rugged beauty and cool coastal character of Sonoma County. Rooted in family vineyards and guided by a minimalist winemaking philosophy, their wines are celebrated for their purity, balance, and deep sense of place.
No question about it, 2023 is a vintage for the decade. Cooler spring temperatures delayed bud break with verasion arriving as late as August in some vineyard sites. This shifted harvest later into the fall, requiring even more meticulous farming practices. While this made for a more challenging year, the prolonged growing season allowed for deep and complex flavors to develop. We can’t believe we’re saying this…2023 may best the incredible vintages of 2021 and 2022.

Wine: “The 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has an alluring perfume of wild raspberry, blackberry, mushroom, fallen leaves, bitters and dried flowers. The mediumbodied palate pairs concentrated, spicy flavors with grainy tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, earthy finish.”
