2018 Pinot Noir Central Coast

In the Vineyards
Grapes were carefully selected from fog-influenced vineyards across the expansive Central Coast, one of California's most diverse and climatically cool grape-growing regions.

About the Vintage
The 2018 growing season started with cooler temperatures, followed by a moderate summer with fewer heat spikes than average. Fruit set was consistent, and with the milder weather, harvest began a few weeks later than the last few years. This longer and near-perfect growing season has resulted in structured and concentrated wines.

Winemaker Notes
This 2018 Pinot Noir unlocks the hidden side of the Central Coast with vibrant red fruit aromas of Bing cherry, rhubarb, and raspberries. Bright flavors of fresh strawberry and blueberries are complemented with cardamom spice and notes of black tea. Balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins lead to a long and delicious finish.
