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.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
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.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
