Ferren Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard Sonoma Coast
Ferren Wines
United States - California - Sonoma Coast

Silver Eagle Vineyard rests atop Stoetz Ridge, the land mass that divides the remote Sonoma Coast from the Russian River Valley. This vineyard experiences both the cooling ocean breezes of the nearby Pacific, as well as the warmth of the interior valley. The wine made from this unique confluence of climates is extraordinary: this Pinot noir is a rare balance of explosive wild berry, mouth-watering acidity, and rich, polished tannins.

wa97"The 2018 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard is energetic, detailed and seamless this vintage. Medium-ruby, it's deeply scented of cranberry sauce and rhubarb, with touches of apricot, blood orange and licorice. Silky and fresh, the palate offers powerful, layered fruits that linger with fine detail in the mouth. This will age well in the cellar, but it's difficult to resist all that plush, youthful fruit. - Erin Brooks”

jeb dunnuck logo 250"More wild strawberry and raspberry fruits, as well as flowers and chalky minerality, emerge from the 2018 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard, a more ethereal, perfumed Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. As with the appellation release, the balance is impeccable, and it has good acidity, notable structure, and one hell of a great finish. Give it a year or two as well.”

vinous logo"The 2018 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle is elegant, nuanced and vibrant. Lavender, spice, menthol and licorice lead into a core of blue/purplish berry fruit. This supple, engaging Pinot is an absolute delight to taste. All the elements are so well balanced. - Antonio Galloni”

wine spectator 94 pts"Refined and elegant, with a lithe, creamy texture to the dried red fruit and berry flavors, lengthening out with forest forest floor notes. The fine-grained, minerally finish shows leafy accents and hints of sandalwood. Drink now through 2025.—K.M.”

jeb dunnuck logo 250"My favorite of the trio, the 2016 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard has a perfumed, spice-filled character as well as awesome kirsch and blackberry fruits intermixed with lots of dried flowers, forest floor, and spice. It's full-bodied, concentrated, has thrilling complexity, fine tannins, and a great finish. This cuvée comes from a site on the Sonoma Coast, was completely destemmed, and spent 18 months in one-third new French oak. Readers looking for an up and coming superstar from Sonoma need to get on board."

wa92"From a vineyard owned and farmed by Ulises Valdez, the 2016 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard has a pale to medium ruby color and nose of crunchy cranberry and red cherry, toasted coconut, dried leaves and dusty earth. Light to medium-bodied with a good core of earthy fruit, it has firm, grainy tannins and fresh acidity to lift the finish. 125 cases produced. - Erin Brooks”
