The 2019 Bassi Vineyard Pinot Noir is crafted from 20 year old Dijon Clone vines at Bassi Vineyard, located on the hillsides of Avila Valley.  This bottling is a unique snapshot of coastal California, some of the closest vines to the pacific in the State.    The fruit was 40% destemmed, and fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 11 months.

Aromas of tart cranberry, orange zest, peppercorn and a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, notes of pomegranate, Sichuan pepper and green-peppercorn. Fresh acidity keeps it light.
