The purpose of the “Wines We Like” category is to share wines we (Laura and John) think are delicious.

Simply, if you look up this wine and find this page, we just want to add our voice to say “go for it, it’s good!”. We had this at Saint and Second in Los Angeles (good restaurant, btw)

A little about this wine…

This 2019 Narcisse Pinot Noir comes from Soliste, a tiny Sonoma Coast producer run by ex-sommelier Katy Wilson. She named it after the narcissus flower, which feels right for such a delicate wine.

The Sonoma Coast is Pinot heaven – all that fog and cool ocean air keeps the grapes happy. 2019 was a stellar year out there, and it shows. This has that classic Sonoma Coast vibe: silky, bright, with layers of fruit that aren’t overdone. Wilson doesn’t mess around with heavy-handed winemaking – she just lets good fruit from great sites speak for itself.

It’s exactly the kind of balanced, elegant Pinot that made Sonoma Coast famous.
