Winemaker's Notes

Nestled in a transverse valley just 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, where cold marine air creates the perfect conditions for growing world-class Pinot Noir, the 2023 Fiddlestix Pinot Noir is shaped by its unique terroir. The wine opens with brooding notes of black cherry, anise, balsam, and cola. On the palate, dark plum, ripe strawberry, and a flash of pomegranate weave together with hints of clove, allspice, and black tea, adding layers of depth and complexity. Silky yet structured, this Pinot Noir embodies its origins.
