Light in color, layered in character. Bright red fruit, and a touch of earthiness make this a nod to old-school France with a California edge. Like a favorite old record it’s warm, a little layered, and always worth revisiting.
Pair with: Duck confit with black cherries and rosemary
Presqu'ile Vineyards Description
As a universal truth in wine shopping, good Pinot Noir can be difficult to find on a budget - and is often measured against the wines of Burgundy. In California, Pinot usually shows a little "bigger" than the more delicate wines of Burgundy, with more concentration of fruit and higher alcohol - like Pinot on steroids. I'm pleasantly surprised by how the Presqu'ile Santa Barbara County Pinot shows as reminiscent of Burgundy. Light and delicate, yet expressive and nuanced - ripe cherry, strawberry and plum with hints of graham cracker, spice, and fallen wet leaves - it checks all of the boxes! Family owned and sustainably farmed, Presqu'ile is dedicated to crafting elegant "cool climate" wines, and this Pinot shows a complex balance of fruit, earth and spice, with a delicate touch that any Pinot lover will appreciate.
