One of the early pioneers of Pinot Noir in the Sonoma Coast, Joan and Walt Flowers bet big on themselves in the 1980’s when they left Bucks County to go West where they purchased a winery on the “extreme Sonoma Coast”, atop a relentlessly windy, rugged coastal ridge. Though the popular belief was that Pinot Noir was better suited for Napa or elsewhere, a small group of folks including the Flowers and Tom Rochioli disagreed.
So too did Steve Kistler, who for years bought every grape he could off the Flowers family estate before they finally realized exactly what they had and finally started their own winery in 1994.
Flash forward a few decades and Flowers is now a household name, in part due to their two amazing vineyards Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge right near the Pacific Oceans at elevations from 1,150 to 1,875 feet. They’re also part of the Hueneus Family’s wine portfolio responsible for the likes of Quintessa, Faust and Leviathan.
With incredible winemaking resources and vineyard sites, it’s hardly a wonder they continue to rack up big accolades and elude the hands of most who look for their bottles. But thanks to the collective buying power of Nicholas Wines, that ends today, with a spectacular new release.

The appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was just about completely destemmed (2% stems) and spent 10 months in 18% new French oak. Lots of spice box, earthy forest floor, cherries, and redcurrant notes define the bouquet, and it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with good acidity and a great finish. As with everything from this estate, it’s impeccably made and high-quality.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
