Sonoma is a hidden Gem with great wineries hidden all around the town and square. I had been searching for wineries I was not familiar with that are close to the square but not necessarily in the square. My parents are fans of Pinot Noir so I always try to find a new place they may not have heard of and try it out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.r2winecompany.com\/RedBirds\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-697 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/seducedbyvino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/11RedBirds_PN-300x234.jpg\" rel='mygallery' alt=\"Red Birds Pinot Noir 2011\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seducedbyvino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/11RedBirds_PN.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seducedbyvino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/11RedBirds_PN-273x213.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> I had found a tasting room by R^2 (R2) which feature Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The tasting room was very inviting and seemed like you were in the living room of a friend\u2019s house that just so happens to have a bar set up. They also have a small space outside and on a sunny day would be great to relax with a glass or share a bottle.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to order a glass of the Red Birds Pinot Noir. This wine was very delicious!\u00a0The visual was a deep burnt red typical of a nice pinot.<\/p>\n<p>Wine Notes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nose<\/strong>: earthy, burnt wood, and rain with hint of cloves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taste:\u00a0<\/strong>was raspberry, strawberry, oak, tobacco, cooking spice but very smooth. This was a great representation of a Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n<p>I usually prefer Willamette valley pinot noir but this representation of Sonoma coast was awesome! I recommend if you are ever in Sonoma to stop by and try their wine. They also make a really nice red blend that my husband enjoyed. The price point for this wine was dead on and not over priced.
