Emeritus has long had a love affair with Pinot Noir, always seeking new ways to let grapes and ground express what’s in the bottle. This 2020 offers bright fruits of wild cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, plum with back notes of light green tea leaf, very light cola, and light earthiness and minerality - notes that Sonoma coast fruit is known for. There is a nice velvety viscosity to this as well as mild tannins that support the fruit and mellow out the overall feel of the wine. The light aging of just 11 months in French oak barrels (26% of that being new), allows the wine and its site to express themselves. ORIGIN: Sebastopol Hills, Sonoma Coast. ALCOHOL: 13.5%
