2020 Mon Frère California Pinot Noir 0.75 Ltr. Red
picture of

Vivid garnet red color with purple hues. Lightly smoked nose of cherries, strawberries and plums. After swirling, notions of spices and a hint of roasted wood also come up. Delicately delicate and fresh in the mouth with soft and noble tannins that lets the blissfully refined final continue.

To be enjoyed with grilled meat such as beef, pork and lamb. As well as with dishes with fine sauces and certainly with medium ripened cheeses.

climate

A mix of different climate regions to achieve a nice balance between fruit, structure and finesse. (cooler and warmer)

soil

A blend of Sonoma coast, Santa Rita Hills and the highlands of Santa Barbara and Santa Lucia. So a mix of different suitable terroirs to offer as versatile a Pinot noir from California as possible.

vinification

The grapes are picked by hand fairly early. Temperature controlled fermentation with as little manipulation as possible to preserve the fine and pure character of the wine. Fine blending is done only once to prepare the wine for barrel ripening. 100% French oak for 10 months. (of which 25% new)
