MacRostie with Ryan McGenera/Bommarito

Sonoma vineyardSonoma vineyard (Photo credit: Nelson Minar)MacRostie an old school winery in carneros region of Sonoma now uses Sonoma Coast as a designation.
the label was once a tartan plaid to showcase macrostie scotch heritage.. now it has a Scotish Thistle.

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2009... creamy and loaded with ML. trying for more of a lemon lime component and less of the tropical fruit that cali can give. very tasty

Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2007.. made from the home ranch it is a big brother to the Sonoma Coast.. lots of mouthfeel and fruit... mid palate strength. pretty toasty nose

Sonoma Coast Pinot noir 2008 soft and yummy.. a nice blend of the old and new world styles.. lots of guts for a light wine.

Wildcat Mountain Pinot Noir 2009 a more masculine wine.. lots of body and acidity.. a little heat on the finish from higher alcohol.. the least subtle of his wines
