Vennstone, Tri-Appellation Pinot Noir, California, USA 2018

A fruit-forward, fuller-bodied blend from cool-climate sites in Sonoma, Monterey, and Santa Barbara Counties, this is the latest Pinot Noir project from Joe Wagner (producer of Meiomi). Ripe red and black fruit mingles with warm baking spices from the oak which gives way to undertones of earth and slate.
