| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nA Gevrey-like nose of mulled red and black plums, Asian spices, scorched earth, and\r\nearthy forest floor give way to a rich, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir that has terrific balance, plenty of acidity and tannins, and a great finish. It has lots of upfront fruit\r\nyet has a firm underbelly and excellent structure.\r\nMany are hailing the 2018 vintage as a return to \u201cnormal\u201d as the vintage was comparatively\r\ncalm, cool, and late. The year began with a relatively warm February before giving way to a\r\ncold spring and moderate growing conditions throughout the season. The moderate temperatures continued into harvest allowing for full phenolic ripeness to develop and the luxury\r\nof picking the grapes when they were mature rather than trying to beat the heat.\r\nVineyard\r\nKnown as \u201cThe Land of Promise\u201d, Terra de Promissio has an ideal terroir for Pinot noir.\r\nThe soil, southwest sun exposure, hill elevation, vine density and the wind and fog of the\r\nPetaluma Gap allow the grapes to have a slow maturation & extended hang time.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 95 Points\u00a0\r\nFrom acclaimed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown\r\nAbout Senses Winery\r\nVision\r\n\r\nSenses Wines is the dream of three childhood friends.\u00a0Chris, Max and Myles partnered with critically acclaimed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, to produce world-class wines from renowned vineyards owned by their families.\u00a0Since founding in 2011, Senses production has grown to include many coveted vineyard sites throughout northern California.\r\nThe Senses estate vineyards are located in the West Sonoma Coast region of Sonoma County, specifically in the small town of Occidental where the three founders grew up.\r\nOur wines embody the natural and distinct characteristics of the vineyards from where the grapes are grown.\u00a0Our team believes the vineyards are Senses\u2019 greatest assets, and we meticulously farm each vine so the winemaking process can be as hands-off as possible. This approach ensures the complexity and finesse we expect for each wine, vintage after vintage.\u00a0Grapes are hand sampled and harvested at ideal ripeness, cold-soaked for a few days, fermented with yeasts indigenous to the vineyard, and ultimately pressed and barreled into a selection of our favorite French cooperages. |
