2020 LOS PRIMEROS PINOT NOIR Sonoma County
THE STORY Los Primeros – meaning “the first” – honors the early winegrowing pioneers in California who planted vines along the coast. Today, those same areas, inland from the Pacific Ocean, produce California’s most sought after Pinot Noir grapes.
THE PLACE 100% Sonoma County — For our 2020 Los Primeros Pinot Noir we blend both declassified barrels from some of our top single vineyard wines along with contracted sources picked by the winemaking team for specific aroma and flavor profiles. Layered into this are blending components from a handful of truly elite Sonoma Coast producers.
SENSORY Beautiful garnet color and day bright, the wine is light enough to read through, but has a hint of a dark center which preludes what is to come on the nose/palate. The nose jumps out of the glass with bitter chocolate covered cherries, red apple skin, charcuterie, fresh cut cremini mushrooms and fall leaves after a rainstorm. Classic medium bodied Pinot Noir, the palate has brighter red cherry flavors and a touch of leather but confirms the complex nose above that is set on a pedestal of medium tannins which beg for something to eat.
