Alma Fria Sonoma Coast Holtermann Pinot Noir

The Holtermann vineyard is now squarely in its prime, having reached nineteen years of age this vintage. Offering a compelling mixture of blood orange and pomegranate flavors, this is a wonderful Pinot that perfectly expresses the essence of the West Sonoma Coast. Accented with hints of forest floor, mint, licorice and violets, and assembled with the purity and brightness of its high natural acidity, this is coastal Pinot Noir at its best.

94/100 – The 2021 Pinot Noir Holtermann Vineyard is one of the most expressive and engaging Pinots I have tasted from Alma Fria. Intensely floral and spiced, the 2021 has real dimension to match its dynamic, vibrant personality. Crushed red/purplish berry fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper all race through the 2021, a wine that offers tons of West Sonoma Coast energy, but with more fruit density than in the past. This is a superb showing. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
