Marine Layer ‘Marine Layer Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2022 Review
Marine Layer means just that. Wines that focus on vineyards in the cooler climates of Sonoma, covered by the morning fog. This wine is from the winery’s six-acre vineyard on the Sonoma Coast and is the perfect representation of coastal Pinot Noir. It opens with aromas of earth, mushrooms, and rhubarb, though bright cherry notes take center stage. The palate delivers juicy and tart red fruit flavors like pomegranate and cranberry, with hints of black tea and herbs. That marine influence comes through in the acidity, making for a lifted, elegant wine.
