When California winemaking star Thomas Brown met Christian Seely, the managing director behind Bordeaux's Château Pichon Baron and Portugal's Quinta do Noval, great wine was bound to happen. Brown showed Seely a vineyard in California's West Sonoma Coast AVA, and 3 years later, Platt Vineyard is making its debut with two 2023 Pinot Noirs. See Wine Spectator's tasting notes.
