Introduction: The fruit for our 2021 Daria Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is sourced from Lakeville vineyard, located off the Lakeville Highway, carved by winds, with over 500 feet elevation, and the Vina Del Sol vineyard located on Adobe Road. This location, right by the San Pablo Bay means that cooling breezes are always tempering the warm California sun; and the fog guards the vineyards from the most powerful rays for much of the growing season, which creates a unique microclimate and great wines. The Pinot Noir is crafted from the famed Dijon clones 115, 667, 777, and Martini clone, which creates a wine with a dense and elegant backbone, vivid fruit and floral aromatics.

Winemaking: The grapes were handpicked at the end of September, sorted and de-stemmed into small fermentation bins and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to help stabilize the color and enhance flavors. It was fermented for 15 days and punched down 3 times a day to increase extraction of color and phenolic compounds. Gently pressed and aged for 14 months into 100% French oak barrels with 30% new oak to preserve the delicate notes and mouthfeel. Only 2 barrels produced.

Tasting Notes: A boutique and elegant wine, our 2021 Daria Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is silky in texture and complex in flavor, with wild cherry and rose petal, fusing perfectly with an exotic undertone of licorice and coffee vanilla oak. In the glass, bright light red hues, darker to the edge, medium weight on the palate balanced with bright acidity. Long and luscious finish.

Enjoy with Family and Friends!

Cheers!
