Best of Class, Double Gold Medal - Sonoma County Harvest Fair

There's something in this Pinot Noir that sets it apart. A unique flavor infused amongst all the glorious traditional flavors of the grape. The vineyard sits on volcanic alluvial soil, which is uncommon for California Pinot Noir. (But common in the Willamette Valley, Oregon). There's some flint on the nose, and lovely dark cherry with cloves on the palate. So unique and delightful! – Wine Factor

FROM THE WINERY

Nestled in the pristine Bennett Valley appellation in Sonoma Valley, Bennett Valley Cellars farms 40 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on two ranches: Simpatico Ranch and Marina's Vineyard. The well-drained volcanic alluvial soils and fog-cooled climate create an ideal growing environment for producing wines with flavors and aromatic characteristics unique to this beautiful valley.

Tasting Notes

This wine is deep garnet in color and has a brilliant clarity. The fruit aromas are distinctly of violets along with some blackberry, allspice and vanilla notes. On the palate, the same dark fruits mingle with flavors of pomegranate and mocha. Soft acidity allows the fruit characters to shine through, while the soft tannins linger on the palate. Versatility with food is a hallmark of all of our wines. Enjoy the 2022 Estate Pinot Noir with a variety of poultry, beef, pork and game, as well as vegetables, cheeses, olives, and savory dishes.
