{"product_id":"pinot-noir-sonoma-coast","title":"Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Pinot Noir that showcases what Sonoma Coast is capable of: cool sea air that allows the grapes to ripen slowly, and a style deeply rooted in German heritage. Walter Schug brought his Rheingau background to California, establishing a style consciously inspired by Burgundian methods—precise, fruit-forward, and without overripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The winery is located in Sonoma County and is now run by Schug\u0026#39;s children Claudia, Andrea, and Axel, the second generation to do so. Chief Winemaker Johannes Scheid, with experience from the Mosel region, consistently continues Schug\u0026#39;s original philosophy: elegance over power, terroir over extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the wine displays ripe cherry and strawberry, underpinned by delicate spice notes—cinnamon, a hint of white pepper. The body is medium-bodied, the tannins silky, the finish fresh with a pleasant length. Not a heavy, Sonoma-style crowd-pleaser, but a structured Pinot Noir with real drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Best served at \u003cstrong\u003e14–16 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e . Pairs well with duck breast with cherry sauce, grilled salmon, or a ripe Brie. Also a good choice for a simple midweek dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schug Carneros Estate Winery","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":53152166740304,"sku":"VJ1630-2023","price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/606106-transparent.webp?v=1783421715","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/pinot-noir-sonoma-coast","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
