Matrix 2021, Sonoma County, Pinot Noir

This is what you open when dinner is a little fancy but your playlist is still all 90s indie rock. It’s pretty, fresh, and just grounded enough to keep things interesting.

Tasting Notes: Made entirely from estate-grown Sonoma County fruit, this Pinot Noir is bursting with bright notes of cranberry, cherry, and hibiscus. On the palate, those red fruits are balanced by an earthy, spicy undercurrent that adds depth without overpowering. Elegant and food-friendly, it offers subtle structure and soft tannins, making it an easy pairing with a wide range of dishes—from roasted chicken to mushroom risotto.

Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir

About the Estate: Matrix Winery is located in the heart of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, where it specializes in small-lot Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other Burgundian-style wines. With estate fruit sourced from across the Russian River, Sonoma Coast, and Dry Creek Valley, the winemaking team can hand-select specific vineyard blocks—or even rows—to achieve complexity and precision.
