Del Dotto Vineyards 'Piazza Del Dotto' Pinot Noir, Fort Ross-Seaview, California, USA 2019

Description

From the rugged coastal vineyards of Fort Ross–Seaview, this Pinot Noir offers both elegance and intensity, shaped by the cool Pacific breezes and steep mountain slopes. The nose is lifted and expressive, with aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry interwoven with rose petal, tea leaf, and a subtle touch of forest floor. On the palate, it is silky and refined yet vibrant, delivering layers of red fruit balanced by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. Gentle oak aging adds nuances of spice, vanilla, and a whisper of cocoa, enhancing complexity without diminishing the wine’s purity. The finish is long and graceful, leaving notes of red berry and savory minerality that echo the coastal terroir. A Pinot of finesse and depth, it shines with dishes like roast duck, seared salmon, or mushroom risotto.
