2021 Terra de Promissio Pinot Noir

Hailing from one of Sonoma's most iconic Pinot Noir vineyards, this wine has a bouquet of red fruits and dried herbs on the nose, with medium-body, strong backbone, and earthy red fruit on the palate. This wine is flavorful and savory with a long, elegant finish.

    James MacPhail's Notes

    Owned by the Karren family, Terra de Promissio (“Land of Promise”) is a 50-acre vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA where some of the most prestigious Pinot Noir grapes in Sonoma are grown. Today, Terra de Promissio has become one of the most iconic places to grow Pinot Noir grapes in California. We acquire only a small amount of their fruit, so this is absolutely one to seek out and hold onto.

    Aromas of black cherry, bouquet of red fruits, white flowers, spice and dried herbs. On the palate, flavors of red fruits, salinity (fog), soil, orange peel, and cherry jam. This wine is flavorful and savory with a long, elegant finish.

    Production Notes

    Grapes were harvested by hand before undergoing a 17-day fermentation in French oak. To enhance flavor extraction, grapes were punched down by hand three times a day.
