Flaunt
Flaunt produces Pinot Noir from Sonoma County's North Coast region, where cool maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions: Peake Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir and Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir each capture distinct terroir signatures, while a Rosé of Pinot Noir rounds out the range. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, with Peake Ranch Vineyard achieving particular recognition. Sonoma County's varied microclimates—from coastal valleys to inland benchlands—allow Pinot Noir to develop the bright acidity and silky tannin structure the variety demands. Flaunt's focus on vineyard-specific bottlings reflects a commitment to expressing place through single varietal work.
