Chamisal Pinot Noir San Luis Obispo County 750mL
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | This bright, acid-driven Pinot Noir is sourced from some of the most marine-influenced vineyards on the Central Coast. The cool climate generated by the close proximity to the sea is vital for the freshness and vibrancy of this wine. The vineyards for this first vintage are predominantly located in the Edna Valley, just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, with a very long, cool growing season. The first vineyard planted in 1973 in what would become the Edna Valley Ava, Chamisal Vineyards is located just outside the city of San Luis Obispo on California's Central Coast. A specialist in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Chamisal Vineyards strives to produce wines that express the wild and inspiring beauty of California's Central Coast and, more specifically, their 82-acre estate vineyard. What a fun, complete wine to taste! This one is all about purity of fruit -- classic Pinot notes of cherries and strawberries run rampant in the nose, supported by scents of mixed florals, forest floor and a hint of black tea for balance. In the mouth, the cherry/berry flavors are gorgeous and rich but shaped and balanced by brisk acidity in the wine's structure. The fruit here shines but doesn't blind, allowing the berry flavors to soar to new heights without becoming cloying. A bit of earth and underbrush adds a more grounded base for the fruit to land upon-- and this one definitely sticks the landing ! Great fruit contained by excellent structure and all at a fair price. Pair this with the classic Thanksgiving table and enjoy!. Wine Enthusiast 90 Points - "This is a very satisfying Pinot Noir for a fair price. Round and even fat aromas of strawberry cream and fruit punch are quite juicy on the nose. The palate's bouncy acidity elevates crisp redfruit flavors, though there's an earthy edge keeping everything grounded." - Matt Kettmann |
