Fun Fact: Gros Ventre translates to “Fat Belly”

Fermented with 10% stems and aged 18 months in 15% new French oak, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast has a pretty bouquet of tart cherry and strawberry fruits as well as a distinctly floral character, notes of underbrush and orange blossom, medium to full body, a beautifully pure texture, and a great finish. It's a richer, powerful Pinot Noir that still stays remarkably elegant and pure, with beautiful acidity, polished tannins a great finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It needs air to show at its best and is a beautiful, outstanding 2018 Pinot Noir that will drink well for a solid 8-10 years.

Sourced from three vineyards situated within the West Sonoma Coast (50% Campbell Ranch, 25% Baranoff, 25% Undisclosed). Gentle punchdowns & no extended maceration. No lees stirring. Minimal SO2 added before bottling. That ‘undisclosed vineyard’? That’s a sign that they’d have to charge a LOT more for this wine if they revealed the source… So I’m completely on board!
