Wayfarer Estate Wayfarer Vineyard Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 2023 — Rated 95WS | #8 Top 100 Wines of 2025

Discover the brilliance of one of Sonoma Coast’s most celebrated Pinot Noirs. The 2023 Wayfarer Estate Pinot Noir from the Wayfarer Vineyard in Fort Ross-Seaview has earned a 95-point rating from Wine Spectator and secured its place as #8 in the Top 100 Wines of 2025 — a rare achievement that underscores its world-class pedigree.

Crafted from Wayfarer’s high-elevation jewel-box vineyard — the only Sonoma site ever planted by famed Napa viticulturist David Abreu — this wine expresses the region’s wild coastal character with elegance and precision. Overseen by second-generation vintner Cleo Pahlmeyer and winemaker Todd Kohn, the Estate bottling blends fruit from 11 distinct Pinot Noir clones, delivering profound complexity and depth.

Tasting Profile

A beautifully layered and expressive Pinot Noir showing:

  • Aromas of hibiscus, rose petal and wild red berry
  • Vibrant flavors of damson plum and mulberry
  • Seamless fine-beaded acidity and silky, taut tannins
  • A long, sapid finish with tea and incense notes lingering over glistening fruit

A refined and age-worthy wine recommended to enjoy 2026–2036.
