The Land
Big Basin Vineyards 2021 Dune & Mountain Pinot Noir is a blend sourced from three distinct vineyards within the Santa Cruz and Gabilan Mountains. Coastview Vineyard, perched at a remarkable 2400 feet elevation atop the Gabilan Mountains, boasts decomposed granite soils that contribute to the wine's elegance. The Olson Vineyard, situated just a few miles from Monterey Bay, benefits from the moderating influence of the coastal fog, resulting in a slower ripening period and grapes with concentrated flavors.
The Wine
This Dune & Mountain Pinot Noir was fermented 100% whole cluster using only native yeast. It was aged 11 months in oak barrels and bottled without fining or filtration. The wine displays a vibrant ruby hue in the glass. On the nose, it reveals alluring aromas of crushed rocks, pomegranate, hints of strawberries, and persimmon. The palate is medium-bodied with a graceful structure. Flavors of ripe cherry and wild raspberry intertwine with earthy notes and subtle hints of wild rose petals, creating a complex and nuanced profile. This wine, produced in limited quantities (305 cases), offers exceptional value and demonstrates the intensity and character that define Big Basin Vineyards.
