Old World winemaking heritage meets Central Coast terroir in this vibrant DeLoach Vineyards Pinot Noir. As a family-owned winery, we take great pride in producing distinctive wines that highlight the unique nuances of each appellation, while at the same time nourishing the land with eco-friendly viticulture and minimally intrusive winemaking.
Firm and rich on the palate, this red is lightly aromatic, offering notes of lavender, dark berry and crushed rock, with lively acidity and tannins.
The wine underwent a 3 day cold soak followed by a 14 day fermentation after which it was left on skins for an additional 5 days. The wine was then aged with a combination of stainless steel and French oak, 15% new.
Opens with bright aromas of strawberry and Bing cherry followed by just hint of violet.
Luscious flavors of raspberry, cardamom spice and a touch of oak culminate with a well-structured and deliciously long finish that sails across the palate.
