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
The 2021 Pinot Noir Stormin' has more 777 clone in the mix and sees 41% new French oak. A jeweled ruby hue, it’s expressive and layered in the glass, opening with spicy layers of anise, ripe cherries, dark earth, and toasted incense. This medium-bodied Pinot Noir has a lot of richness, with an expansive feel and velvety texture that lasts through a long finish. It is a more serious effort with a more inward personality, but it’s going to drink well over the next 15 years.
