Description
Tucked amid the Redwoods near the Mendocino coast, Maggy Hawk produces exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This wine, true to its name Stormin’, is dark and brooding with inviting complexity. Plush blue fruit, cherry cola and savory umami notes lead into ripe tannins and a muscular frame that is refined by balanced acidity and a generous finish. Big. Rich. Assertive. Perfect for sipping by candlelight.

Big, rich, and assertive, Stormin’ Pinot Noir is a deeply complex red wine. Dark chocolate and black cherry aromas mingle with warm toasted chestnuts and candied ginger. Floral lavender and savory mushroom notes are complimented by the bold texture, solid acidity, and round tannins on the generous finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
An enveloping perfume unfolds in the 2020 Pinot Noir Stormin' Estate Vineyard with a more luxurious sheen of polished cedar, lavender, black raspberry, and anise. It delivers round fruit up front on the palate, with a more apparent structure coming through in its ripe tannins and notes of orange peel, red cherry, and turned earth. It needs some time to settle but has a lot of depth to offer. Drink 2025-2035.
