2021 Wayfarer WF2 Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 750ml

Winery Notes- Each block was hand-picked and firm, cool clusters were delivered to the winery before sunrise. We hand-sorted and destemmed the fruit before transferring it to stainless steel tanks for five to ten days of cold maceration. Fermentation was guided by 100% native yeast, with hand punch downs tailored to how each tank was tasting that day. The wine aged in French oak barrels, 35% new, for 10 months prior to bottling. The 2021 jumps from the glass with notes of fresh rose, black currant, blackberry, blood orange, crushed earth, soy sauce, allspice and strawberry fields. A linear palate focuses on freshly picked strawberries and blackberries at the peak of ripeness, layered with decadent dark chocolate mousse. There is a beautiful persistence to this multifaceted Pinot Noir.
