2014 La Pitchoune Pinot Noir English Hill Vineyard

Estate: La Pitchoune Winery
Region: Sonoma Coast, North Coast, California, United States of America
Vineyard: English Hill Vineyard


Tasting Note:May 25, 2018

Brick edges and a medium ruby core. Rich nose with purple flowers, dark red berries, blood orange rind and cherries. Medium plus acidity (7.5/10) and medium bodied. A bit young on the palate and green with a freshly broken twig underneath notes of strawberries, under ripe cherries, white pepper and earth. Long finish. Still a baby that needs a little bit of time to open up nicely.


Second stop in Sonoma with Andrew Berge of Spell Estate, La Pitchoune and Tiny House to name a few. Next red from La Pitchoune is their English Hill Vineyard. Aged for 11 months in 25% new French oak barrels and only 98 cases produced.
